A pediatric patient has been brought to the emergency room because of hip pain, erythema, and edema, with a high heart rate and low-grade fever. The child will not bear weight on his left side. The diagnosis is osteomyelitis of the hip.
 
  The parents ask the nurse how the medical team plans to keep an IV in their child for at least three weeks for antibiotics. The nurse knows that: 1. The best solution will be for a PICC line to be placed in the child so that he/she does not need as many IV starts.
   2. The IV sites will last up to 72 hours before needing changed, so this should not cause much pain for the child.
   3. The child's arm will be immobilized so that an IV stays in.
   4. The child will receive the antibiotics via injection if the IV site cannot be maintained.
