Standardized care plans for i.v. therapy.
The use of standardized care plans by nurses has become an efficient tool for communicating special needs of patients. We at Good Samaritan Hospital and Medical Center recognized that our I.V. Team and the patients we service could benefit from the use of such a care plan. Improved communication and documentation were accomplished by developing a standard care plan addressing problems that may be encountered in I.V. therapy. This form has become a valuable part of our care to patients receiving I.V. therapy.
