Day 38 - Nursing skill - IV Drip

Hi readers, nice to meet you again after almost 1 month I didn't post my story,right? So many problem, but I will start again,okey! i will tell you about my duty in RSSI.

After finishing week orientation,than SDU will teach only for nurses to do nursing skill. So all nurses staffs in RSSI have same management to do nursing skill. Because we graduated from different college, so will different also to practical nursing skill. Example is insert IV drip.

We have to prepare all things like alcohol swab(In another hospital still use cotton ball with alcohol),tegaderm(in another hospital use sterille gauze with plaster to close hep canula after inserting), yellow plastic to throw infectious sewage, sharp container to throw needle, etc. And not forget, all actions what contact with body fluid patient should wear unsterille gloves to protect nurse from contagious diseases.

Another step, all same like in book. Explanation to patient and relatives if available about our action before doing IV drip insertion. Cross check with another nurse about fluid/medication to be given to patient.
