Takeaways

• 😀 Always keep the infusion site clean and dry, and inform medical staff if there are signs of complications like pain or leakage.
• 😀 Do not change or adjust the infusion drip speed on your own; contact medical staff if the flow seems blocked or uneven.
• 😀 Infusion bottles should not be placed lower than the chest level. Use an infusion pole to maintain the proper height for the bottle.
• 😀 Oxygen therapy should not be adjusted independently. Notify medical staff if there are issues such as discomfort or reduced oxygen flow.
• 😀 If the oxygen tube disconnects, inform the medical staff immediately.
• 😀 For patients with a catheter, make sure the urine bag is kept lower than the bladder and avoid exerting pressure to urinate.
• 😀 Never attempt to remove or pull the catheter on your own; always seek assistance from medical personnel.
• 😀 Ensure that the urine collection bag remains sealed and properly positioned to avoid contamination or improper drainage.
• 😀 The nasogastric tube (NGT) should be kept clean, and the tube placement should be checked regularly. Always inform medical staff if the tube becomes dislodged.
• 😀 Only medical staff should adjust or insert food or liquids into the NGT. Maintain cleanliness around the NGT insertion site to prevent infection.
• 😀 For syringe pumps, do not adjust the drug dosage settings or disconnect the device without medical assistance. Alert medical staff if the alarm sounds or there are issues with the syringe pump.

Q & A

What is the primary purpose of infusion therapy in patients?

Infusion therapy aims to supply fluids, medications, vitamins, and electrolytes into the body through veins to meet the patient's medical needs.

What should a patient do if the infusion site becomes painful or if blood leaks from the infusion tube?

The patient should inform the medical staff immediately if there is increased pain at the infusion site or if blood leaks from the tube.

Why is it important not to adjust the infusion drip rate on your own?

The drip rate should not be adjusted by the patient to ensure proper medication administration and avoid complications. Any issues should be reported to the medical staff.

What is the proper height for placing the infusion bottle, and why?

The infusion bottle should be placed higher than the patient's chest, using an infusion pole to ensure gravity allows the fluid to flow correctly and prevent backflow.

What actions should a patient take if they experience difficulty breathing or a decrease in oxygen flow from their oxygen therapy equipment?

The patient should inform the medical staff immediately if they experience shortness of breath or if the oxygen flow is insufficient.

What are the safety precautions when using a urinary catheter?

Patients should ensure that the urine bag is always kept lower than the bladder and should not attempt to remove or pull the catheter without medical supervision.

What should the patient do if the urine bag becomes full or if there is pain at the catheter insertion site?

The patient should inform the medical staff if the urine bag is full or if they experience increased pain at the catheter insertion site.

What should a patient do if they notice their nasogastric tube (NGT) is dislodged or improperly positioned?

The patient should report to the medical staff immediately if the NGT is dislodged or misaligned, or if the patient experiences nausea or vomiting.

Why is it important to keep the end of the NGT sealed and clean?

Keeping the NGT sealed and clean prevents contamination, ensures proper feeding or fluid intake, and avoids any potential blockages or infections.

What should the patient do if the syringe pump's alarm goes off or if they notice any issues with the infusion process?

If the syringe pump alarm sounds or there are issues with the infusion, the patient should not tamper with the device and should press the help button to notify the medical staff.
