title: Performance skill evaluations for i.v. nurses.
abstract: The ability to evaluate and document the skills of the professional I.V. nurse can be more than an idealistic fantasy. It is essential to understand the purpose of evaluations and to provide an effective tool to reach the goals of improving performance and documenting the quality of care provided. Having accomplished these basic steps, one can apply the use of the evaluation tool in peer review processes such as quality assurance, skill validations, policy and procedure review and revision, and staff education.
