I instructed patients on how to move the IV pump with them when they wanted move about the room.
This instruction kept the patient safe from harm, and kept the IV site intact.
Personal ReflectionThis instruction kept the patient safe from harm, and kept the IV site intact.
This
course has been a great experience overall. I again learned a lot of
knowledge about adult patients and their needs. I had the opportunity of
inserting and IV and preformed the skill well, and I will keep building
on all the hands on skills I have preformed so far.
