Rationale 1: Intermittent fluids such as IV piggyback are used to administer drugs and supplemental fluids. Continuous IV infusions are used to replace or maintain fluids or electrolytes. Maintenance fluids help to sustain normal levels of fluids and electrolytes. Replacement fluids are ordered for a patient who has lost fluids through hemorrhage, vomiting, or diarrhea.
