These are practice NCLEX questions to check your understanding You will be allowed to complete the questions twice with an average of the 2 scores being taken as a class participation grade 7. When discussing it an intravenous (IV) Iine has inftrated, which statement made by the new nurse requires intervention by the preceptor? A "I did not palpate any swelling at the IV infusion site B "When I lowered the IV bag, I did see a blood return c. The patient denies any pain when I palpate the insertion site D. O'inspected the IV site and did not see any redness of sweling' 8. A patient is undergoing intravenous (IV) therapy in a peripheral venous site. When assisting with evaluation of patient progress, which criteria should the patient meet to be identified as free fro infection? (Select all that apply) A Normal body temperature B. Disruption of skin integrity C Body temperature of 100" For lower D. Absence of purulent drainage at IV site E Absence of redness at venipuncture de 9. What are some of the many factors to consider for the most efficient flow of intravenous uds? (Select all that apply) A Diameter of the selected cannula B. Patient's ability to selfmonitor IV flow C. Viscosity and volume of fluid in the container D Ensuring that the fluid container does not vent E Height of the flud container over the patient's heart F. Position of the extremity to which the fluid is delivered

Answer 1

7. When discussing if an intravenous (IV) line has infiltrated, "When I lowered the IV bag, I did see a blood return." statement made by the new nurse requires intervention by the preceptor.

Its because when you lower the IV bag there is flown back of blood is normal, This scenario has nothing to deal with infiltration.

infiltration - it means leaking of iv fluid or medication to surrounding tissue at IV to assess the site. It causes swelling, pain, redness, and infection.

Answer - B. "When I lowered the IV bag, I did see a blood return."

8.

A patient is undergoing intravenous (IV) therapy in a peripheral venous site. When assisting with the evaluation of patient progress, The criteria patient should meet to be identified as free from infection is

A. Normal body temperature (Means there is no infection in the body because elevated body temperature is a signs of infection)
D. Absence of purulent drainage at IV site (Purulent drainage are the dead tissue from infection site so, absence of these tissue indicates there is no infection)
E. Absence of redness at the venipuncture site (Redness is a sign of infection so, absence of redness indicates there is no infection)

9.

Factors to consider for the most efficient flow of intravenous fluids are

A. Diameter of the selected cannula (Greater diameter tends to increase the flow of fluids)
C. Viscosity and volume of fluid in the container (Higher viscous fluid flows slow)
E. Height of the fluid container over the patient's heart (Higher height of fluid container increases the flow due to gravity)
F. Position of the extremity to which the fluid is delivered (Position is an important factor, certain position blocks the line or vein which decreases the flow.)
