insertion catheter. it allows you the ability to stop giving iv fluids and
then start again at a later time without having to do another venipuncture
risk for saline lock Correct Answer-occlusion
-check for patency frequently
Intermittent venous access (saline lock) advantages Correct Answer--
Cost savings resulting from the omission of continuous IV therapy
-Effectiveness of nurse's time enhanced by eliminating constant
monitoring of flow rates
-Increased mobility, safety, and comfort for the patient
Intermittent venous access (saline lock) BEFORE administration Correct
