NUR 172 quiz 1
Hypotonic - answer Having a lower concentration of solute than another solution
Hypotonic - answer Normal saline
IVPB - answer Intravenous Piggy-Back: In tandem with, usually with normal saline
secondary administration set - answer A small-volume fluid container and administration
set used to introduce medication to a patient who has a primary IV in place. Also known
as piggyback.
primary administration set - answer device used for delivery of parenteral solutions
drip chamber - answer the portion of an intravenous administration set that lies just
below the tubing insertion spike and allows visualization of the individual drops of
solution being infused; the portion squeezed and released to begin the flow of solution
immediately after insertion of the spike into the solution bag or bottle when preparing an
intravenous infusion set
drop factor - answer The number of drops needed to deliver 1Ml or fluid
Gauge - answerSize of opening standard measurement
Filter - answerA speical porous device used for eliminating certain elements
Luer-Lok - answerA design that incorporates a threaded sleeve on a male luer so that
needles are not necessary
Macrodrip - answer10-20 gtt/ml
Microdrip - answer60 gtt/mL
midline catheter - answer3-8 inches long, double or single lumen; inserted through veins
of antecubital fossa most commonly used (basilica vein is preferred over cephalic due to
larger diameter and straighter path); used for therapies lasting 1-4 weeks but no
recommended optimal dwell time (fluid hydration, long-term antibiotics, heparin
infusions for DVT, bronchodilators, steroids); should not be used for infusion of vesicant
medications; NO osmolality >600 mOsm/L, all parenteral nutrition, no blood draw
Over the counter needle catheter - answerFor peripheral iv plastic Flexable catheter
PCA - answerpatient controlled analgesia pain pump
