Post by: nurse2mrow on Sep 16, 2014
When discontinuing an IV, the nurse will:
1.   remove the dressing, remove the catheter, dispose of the used equipment in the “sharps” container, and chart observations and actions.
2.   observe the site for redness, swelling, and pain and put on sterile gloves. Remove the dressing catheter and chart findings and action.
3.   observe the site for redness, swelling, and pain and put on clean gloves. Remove the dressing and catheter, place a 2 ? 2 dressing over the site, and chart findings and action.
4.   observe the site for redness, swelling, and pain and put on clean gloves. Remove the dressing and catheter; chart findings and action.


This is for my medical nursing class

This is not a sterile procedure. Clean gloves protect the nurse from the body fluids. Placement of a small 2 ? 2 dressing keeps the area clean until the insertion site closes.
