16
Q

T or F: with IV injections we can administer caustic, irritating, & hypertonic solutions safely

A

true

17
Q

What equipement is typically needed for IV injections

A

syringe & needle, winged infusion set, catheter

18
Q

Common sites & their restraint methods for IV injections

A

-Cephalic vein (sternal or sitting recumbency)
-Medial saphenous vein (lateral recumbency)
-Lateral saphenous vein (standing)

19
Q

T or F: alcohol should be used to aid in visualization of the vein

A

true

20
Q

how should we administer IV injections

A

the needle is inserted bevel up into vein until a “flash” of blood is noted in the hub of the needle (while aspirating we WANT to see blood flow into the hub of the needle)

21
Q

What should we do after an IV injection?

A

apply firm pressure to the site for a few minutes after the needle has been withdrawn

22
Q

T or F: medications & fluids can be delivered into the bone through IO (intraosseous) injection

A

true

23
Q

what type of patients would we give IO injections to

A

-Neonates
-Circulatory collapse
-Small patients

24
Q

T or F: IO injections allow for rapid absorption

A

true

25
Q

Common sites used for IO injections

A

-Femur - trochanteric fossa
-Tibial tuberosity
-Humerus - greater tubercle
-Illiac wing or ischium

26
Q

what is the purpose of epidural injections

A

analgesic & anesthetic injections

27
Q

What do epidural injections provide

A

analgesia & muscle relaxation caudal to the black while minimizing sedative effects

28
Q

where are epidural injections commonly given

A

in the lumbosarcal junction (L7 - S1)

29
Q

T or F: epidurals can rude the pain associated with vaginal manipulation & decrease the force of contractions

A

true

30
Q

T or F: epidural catheters can be placed for long-term anelgesic adminstration

A

true

31
Q

what is the peritoneal space

A

the abdominal cavity

32
Q

when are IP injections given

A

used in neonates when IV or IO access is difficult

33
Q

IP injections are usually used for what

A

peritoneal lavage (peritonitis or pancreatitis)

34
Q

T or F: absorption with IP injections are more rapid than SQ

A

true - still the least desirable method

35
Q

what gauge needle or catheter is used for IP injections

A

18-22 gauge needle or cathered

36
Q

how are IP injections given

A

the needle or catheter is inserted into the abdominal cavity, a few cm caudal to the umbilicus
