Iv Therapy

Front 1

D5W

Back 1

5% dextrose in water; packed as an isotonic solution but becomes hypotonic once
in the body because the glucose (solute) dissolved in sterile water is metabolized rapidly by the body’s cells.

Front 2

D10W

Back 2

10% dextrose in water

Front 3

0.45% saline

Back 3

1/2 NS

Front 4

0.9% saline

Back 4

NS

Front 5

3.0% saline

Back 5

3% NS

Front 6

Colloid solutions

Back 6

IV fluids containing large proteins and molecules
that tend to stay within the vascular space (blood vessels)

Front 7

Crystalloid solutions

Back 7

IV fluids containing varying concentrations of
electrolytes.

Front 8

Hypertonic crystalloid

Back 8

A crystalloid solution that has a higher concentration
of electrolytes than the body plasma

Front 9

Hypotonic crystalloid

Back 9

A crystalloid solution that has a lower concentration
of electrolytes than the body plasma

Front 10

Intravenous fluids

Back 10

Chemically prepared solutions that are administered
to a patient through the IV site

Front 11

Isotonic crystalloid

Back 11

A crystalloid solution that has the same concentration
of electrolytes as the body plasma

Front 12

Lactated Ringer’s

Back 12

An isotonic crystalloid solution containing the
solutes sodium chloride, potassium chloride, calcium chloride, and sodium lactate, dissolved in sterile water (solvent)

Front 13

Normal saline solution

Back 13

An isotonic crystalloid solution that contains
sodium chloride (salt) as the solute, dissolved in sterile water (solvent). The specific concentration for normal saline solution is 0.9%

Front 14

Osmosis

Back 14

The movement of water across a semipermeable membrane
from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration. This movement of water allows the equalization of the
solute-to-solution ratio across the membrane

Front 15

Solute

Back 15

Particles that are dissolved in the sterile water (solvent) of an IV fluid

Front 16

Solvent

Back 16

The liquid portion of an IV solution that the solute(s) dissolves into. The most common solvent is sterile water

Front 17

Used frequently in intravenous drips (IVs) for patients who cannot take fluids orally

Back 17

Normal saline (NS)

Front 18

Used in patients who have developed or are in danger of developing dehydration or hypovolemia

Back 18

Normal saline (NS)

Front 19

The safest fluid to give quickly in large volumes.

Back 19

Normal saline (NS)

Front 20

Used in treating hyponatremia and cerebral edema.

Back 20

Hypertonic saline

Front 21

Concentrations > __% NaCl should only be given via central venous catheter.

D5 1/3 NS

Front 24

5% dextrose in 0.45% saline

Back 24

D5 1/2 NS

Front 25

5% dextrose in 0.9% saline

Back 25

D5NS

Front 26

Ringer's solution

Back 26

1.A solution resembling blood serum in its salt constituents, containing sodium chloride, potassium chloride, and calcium chloride in water

Front 27

2 types of IV access

Back 27

1. Peripheral
2. Central
