Study Notes

Intravenous Infusions

Intravenous (IV) infusions deliver fluids and medications directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the gastrointestinal system. They are used for rapid delivery of fluids and medications, or when medications cannot be absorbed orally.
Registered Nurses (RNs) and Physicians can prepare and administer IV medications or infusions depending on a specific state's specific regulations.
Commonly ordered additives include electrolytes (sodium chloride, potassium chloride), glucose solutions (dextrose 5% in water), and medications.
Intravenous fluids are typically available in volumes of 500 mL, 1000 mL, and 2500 mL.
Figure 15-1 shows a typical IV bag containing normal saline (0.9% sodium chloride), a common isotonic solution. Figure 15-2 shows a standard IV bag containing Lactated Ringer's solution, an isotonic solution similar in composition to the body's fluids.
