Infusion Pump Flashcards
True or False: Parenteral injections are quickly absorbed as they undergo digestive process in the gastrointestinal tract

The nurse must consider the following to proceed in doing IV therapy except
A. Patient needs maintenance and correction of hydration
B. Patient must have parenteral nutrition
C. When administrating certain medications

16
Consists of broader tubing. Due to this reason, it produces drops of bigger diameter and can give 10 gtt/ml, 15 gtt/ml, and 20 gtt/ml.
Macroset
consists of narrower tubing. Due to this reason, it produces drops of smaller diameter and generally comes in a single size with a needle which is 60 gtt/ml.
Microset
True or False: Greater is the value of gtt/ml, smaller is the size of the tube, and vice versa.
True
A sterile gadget consisting mainly of a tubing with filter whose function is to convey, conduct, or deliver blood or blood products from a plastic container into a patient’s vein
Blood infusion set
A medical device used to deliver a fixed volume of intravenous fluid at a fixed rate through gravity or pressure pump method in pediatric patients, usually together with other medications. May used to administer antibiotics that are concentrated and thus need water to dilute
Soluset or Volumetric chamber
______________ can further improve safety by standardizing the dosing units and calculating the rate in these dosing units as well as ml/hr, eliminating the risk of calculation error.
A. Smart infusion pumps
B. Syringe pumps
C. Volumetric pumps

c
IV complication wherein a leakage of the intravenous solution or medication goes into the extravascular tissue
A. infiltration
B. extravasation
C. phlebitis
A
IV complication wherein the IV catheter dislodged and medication infuses into the tissue (vesicant)
A. infiltration
B. extravasation
C. phlebitis
B
The nurse must consider the following during IV therapy but not?
A. Monitor for irritation, signs of infiltration, phlebitis, or extravasations.
B. Monitor IV flow rate regularly (every hour) even if the solution is administered through an IV pump
C. Proper documentation. Document all findings on the IV flow sheet or in the computer.
D. Document any adverse response and dosage of medication
E. Re-site into the same vein after stopping the infusion
