About the session:
This forty-hour course is designed for any nurse wishing to complete a comprehensive intravenous therapy course. The course meets all the requirements of the Ohio Board of Nursing for Licensed Practical Nurses seeking authorization to perform IV therapy in the State of Ohio. The classroom instruction uses an extensive outline packet to facilitate learning and to serve as a resource for participants on completion of the course. The course is divided into eight modules with post-testing following the completion of each to evaluate learning. Case studies are used throughout the course to incorporate clinical application and critical thinking into the practice of IV therapy. Hands-on skill evaluations are made in the lab setting following instructor demonstration and practice. LPN participants will complete their three required venipunctures in a clinical setting with an instructor.
The course is coordinated by an experienced Master’s prepared and Board Certified clinician and educator. The Ohio Board of Nursing requires all LPN participants to have a medication card prior to the program and the clinical component.
Objectives:
- Outline the RN’s and LPN’s role, accountability and responsibility relative to IV therapy in terms of law, Board rule, role of the directing professional, healthcare setting and institutional policy.
- Identify the relationship between IV therapy and the body’s homeostatic functions, emphasizing the anatomy and physiology of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems.
- Describe the various types of IV equipment, including criteria for use of each, and means of trouble-shooting for malfunction.
- Calculate infusion rates using standard formulas.
- Initiate IV therapy utilizing Phillip’s 15-step approach, while demonstrating knowledge prerequisite to initiation; i.e., patient and family support, universal precautions, anatomy and physiology of peripheral veins and procedural steps.
- Perform authorized IV therapy procedures as specified in law and Board rule.
- Outline local and systemic complications related to the administration of IV fluids and antibiotics in terms of signs and symptoms, management, and preventive measures.
