This document provides information on intravenous therapy, including definitions, uses, common vein sites, solutions, and nursing responsibilities. It discusses preparing the patient, gathering supplies, assessing veins, monitoring the patient, and potential complications. Specific topics covered include calculating flow rates, cannula types, the rights of drug administration, crystalloid and colloid fluids, and administering blood transfusions safely.
In urinary catheterization a latex, polyurethane, or silicone tube known as a urinary catheter is inserted into the bladder through the urethra. Catheterization allows urine to drain from the bladder for collection. It may also be used to inject liquids used for treatment or diagnosis of bladder condition
Urinary catheterisation is a procedure used to drain the bladder and collect urine, through a flexible tube called a catheter. Urinary catheters are usually inserted by doctors or nurses in hospital or the community
Sitz bath is most commonly performed procedure in relevance to better wound healing through vasodilation effect. Lets see the Healing power of water
its is commonly performed to postnatal primigravida mothers for healing of perineal lacerations or tears or episiotomy.

Hypovolemic shock is an emergency condition in which severe blood or other fluid loss makes the heart unable to pump enough blood to the body.
Hypovolemic shock symptoms include:
Breathing faster than normal.
Feeling confused or anxious.
Sweating a lot.
Passing out.
Having skin that feels cool.
Feeling weak.
Having a low temperature and low blood pressure.
Having a fast pulse.
The most common cause of hypovolemic shock is blood loss when a major blood vessel bursts or when you're seriously injured. This is called hemorrhagic shock. You can also get it from heavy bleeding related to pregnancy, from burns, or even from severe vomiting and diarrhea.
Fluid resuscitation is the mainstay of therapy in patients with severe hypovolemia.
IV or intravenous (in-trah-VEE-nus) therapy is a way to give fluids, medicine, nutrition, or blood directly into the blood stream through a vein. IV therapy uses a type of tiny plastic tubing (cannula) that goes into the vein, a needle, and plastic tubing that connects the set-up to a bag of fluid. All together, the pieces are called an “IV.” Intravenous (IV) therapy is administering fluids directly into a vein. It benefits treatment by enabling water, medication, blood, or nutrients to access the body faster through the circulatory system.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
3. Intravenous simply is defined as ‘within a Vein’.
Intravenous therapy therefore the administration
of an infusion of liquid substances directly into a
vein.
It provides a speedy and effective method of
delivering medication, fluids, parenteral nutrition
and blood products.
It can be intermittent or continuous
4. Steps to take before carrying out an IV Therapy
Educate patient on the procedure, purpose,
possible discomfort and potential risks.
Gather all necessary equipment
Assess veins for size, straightness and ease of
access.
5. Uses of IV Therapy
To correct electrolyte imbalance
To deliver medications
For blood transfusions
As replacement therapy in cases of dehydration
6. Common Vein sites
Back of the hand
Arm
Foot
Scalp
Femoral
jugular
7. Nursing assessment/ observation to be made
during intravenous therapy
Monitor the patient closely for any acute weight
gain or loss
Keep an accurate record of all intake and output
Assess for any signs of oedema
Auscultate the lung sounds (crackles may be
heard for fluid volume overload)
Notify the doctor if urine output is less than
30mls within 2hours
Examine the site for swelling, dislodgement of
cannula, extravasation (infiltration) of leakages.
8. Nursing assessment/ observation to be made
during intravenous therapy cont.
Observe for any discomfort
Observe the drip chamber and ensure that it is
not empty
Observe the flow rate frequently
Observe for signs of over- infusion such as
dyspnoea, cough and enlargement of cervical
veins. (What will you do if you observe these?)
9. Commonly used intravenous solutions
Hypertonic solution
- 5% dextrose in R/L
- 5% Dextrose in N/S
- 5% Dextrose in 0.45% N/S
Have higher osmotic pressure, thus pulls or draws
fluid out of the cell into the extracellular space
thereby increasing intravascular volume.
10. Commonly used intravenous solutions
Hypotonic solution
- 0.45% N/S
- 0.33% N/S
Pushes fluid from the vascular space into the cells
because they have lower osmotic pressure.
11. Commonly used intravenous solutions
Isotonic solution
- Ringers Lactate
- 5% Dextrose in water
- Normal saline (0.9% NaCl)
Have same osmotic pressure as that found in cells
hence fluid moves equally between all
compartments.
12. Commonly used intravenous solutions
Other solutions include:
- 5:4:1 commonly used for Cholera patients
- Badoe’s solution
13. Calculating the flow rate of an infusion
Flow rate = volume of solution(mls) x drop factor
duration of infusion(mins)
(try some questions in scenarios)
19. The 10 Rights of Drug Administration

26. BLOOD TRANSFUSION
Is the intravenous administration of whole or
component of blood into direct circulation to
restore blood volume, increase haemoglobin

The transfer of blood or blood products from one
person (donor) into another person’s blood
stream (recipient).
