ItemInitiating intravenous fluids a teaching-learning process(School of Nursing, Ateneo de Davao University, 2005-02)Summary: Initiating intravenous fluids is widely practiced not just in the hospital setting but also in home health care. Its role in the medical world is vital in saving lives, nurturing individuals, and promoting a healthy environment. In this book, we were introduced to the different devices, its parts and importance in the therapy process. It has given us the options on how to care for the patient and what steps promote comfort while reducing labor and material cost. It also increased our level of awareness as a clinician in delivering quality service and optimum health care. In response to the changes on the Philippine Nursing Act brought about by RA 9173 expectingregistered nurses to be equipped with the knowledge and skills in initiating intravenous fluids, all nurses should be properly trained. It will be advantageous if nursing students can give focus on the topic and enhance skills by doing return demonstration on the initiation of intravenous insertion and access. For the practitioners, it may come naturally and simply because of familiarity. For the patient, this is a basis for fear and anxiety and for the support group, a costly need for health imrovement. For students, this is a subject that is essential to their growth and career path. For the teacher, it is an important topic that needs to be delivered in such a way that it creates an impact to yield a productive ooutput in lifesaving situations. Perceptions may change, their importance to an individual may vary but all have to be onsidered. Initiating intravenous fluids is a complex process that needs to adapt to different circumstances. Clinical importance has been seriously considered in the construction of this book along with the teaching-learning process. This is so because I believe that all knowledge, skills or attitude is transferred. In the course of our lifetime from the moment we set foot in this world everything is taught and acquired.
