NOTES
1. ✦ Perform hand hygiene.
2. ✦ Apply gloves.
3. ✶ Prepare IV fluid administration set:
a. Inspect the fluid bag to make
sure it contains desired fluid,
that the fluid is clear, and that
the bag is free from any leaks
and has not expired.
b. Select the correct
administration set (either mini
or macro drip) and uncoil the
tubing, being careful that the
ends of the tubing do not
become contaminated.
c. Close the flow regulator to the
fluid bag.
d. Remove the protective
covering from the port of the
fluid bag and the protective
covering from the spike of the
administration set.
e. Insert the spike of the
administration set into the port
of the fluid bag with a quick
twisting motion, being careful
not to puncture yourself.
f. While holding the fluid bag
higher than the drip chamber of
the administration set, squeeze
the drip chamber once or twice
to start the flow of the fluid.
Fill the chamber to the marker
line. If the chamber is overfilled,
quickly lower the bag below the
level of the drip chamber and
squeeze some of the fluid back
into the fluid bag.
