InfusionNurse: Second update is from TJC on correct storage, use, and disposal of multi-dose vials >>>
http://bit.ly #IVchat
8/18/2010 20:13
InfusionNurse: Both are important to nursing and to the infusion nursing specialty.. comments? #IVchat
8/18/2010 20:15
VascularAccess: @Infusionnurse..is the JC update because of the hep C outbreaks from multidose vials?
#IVchat
8/18/2010 20:16
InfusionNurse: @VascularAccess ..yes, and to improve the practice when using multidose vials... #IVchat
8/18/2010 20:18
IVchat: First discussion topic coming up... #ivchat
8/18/2010 20:18
IVchat: T1 - infusions r given in doctors offices and often they used medical assistants to start IVs
and infuse meds, ur thoughts? #ivchat
8/18/2010 20:20
InfusionNurse: T1 - don't agree with this as MAs are not trained nor have the skills sets required for
assessment or clinical judgement. #IVchat

nursingpins: T1 I think starting should be covered under the practice acts? But I guess the doc. offices
can get by with it? #IVchat
8/18/2010 20:23
VascularAccess: T1 - really???? quite insulting to the real infusion nurse, dont u think? #IVchat
8/18/2010 20:23
InfusionNurse: T1 - @nursingpins ..exactly, why should the rules be different in a doc's office? Yes, MA's
do practice under them. #IVchat
8/18/2010 20:25
mcgaula: RT @nursingpins: T1 I think starting should be covered under the practice acts? But I
guess the doc. offices can get by with it? #IVchat
8/18/2010 20:25
nursingpins: T1 It is a challenge for trained personal to do IV therapy - just don't see how they would
be allowed to do IV's? #IVchat
8/18/2010 20:26
InfusionNurse: T1 - no laws stopping MA's - docs let them do it - some know they r responsible for the
MA's actions, others dont know or care.. #IVchat
8/18/2010 20:27
nursingpins: T1 They shouldn't be different in the office - one of those where do you stop after you start
making exceptions. #IVchat
8/18/2010 20:28
InfusionNurse: T1 - @nursingpins - shldnt be diff, but they somehow think docs office r not
audited/surveyed for complaince like hosp do. #IVchat
8/18/2010 20:30
nursingpins: T1 Would the State Board have any authority in the matter? They got involved in the shots
in CA? #IVchat
8/18/2010 20:30
InfusionNurse: Not w/ MAs - under Medical board, NAs yes w/ SBN.RT @nursingpins: T1 Would the
State Board have any authority in the matter? #IVchat
8/18/2010 20:32
IVchat: Good lead to next topic - if they r doing it, who shld train them? T1 - no laws stopping MAs
- docs let them do it - #ivchat
8/18/2010 20:33
IVchat: T2 - Who should train MA's to start IVs and infuse meds? #ivchat
8/18/2010 20:34
nursingpins: T1 I think it is an issue for the patient advocacy groups too - they will play a big part in
many practice issues? #IVchat
8/18/2010 20:35
VascularAccess: T2 - nothing personal against MAs but they should keep their paws off something they can
screw up and kill a pt...IMO #IVchat
8/18/2010 20:35
InfusionNurse: T2 - this is a dilemma..but if not trained, they will do it anyway and may do it improperly..
#IVchat
8/18/2010 20:36
IVchat: LOL RT @VascularAccess: T2 - nothing personal against MAs but they should keep their
paws off something they screw up kill a pt. #ivchat

cover tech - all kinds of other conc too. #IVchat

advocacy groups too - they will play #ivchat

they do very little hands on anything. #IVchat

IVchat: We have 15 minutes left, @nursingpins, pls. feel free to post ur ? #ivchat
8/18/2010 20:41

8/18/2010 20:42

8/18/2010 20:46
nursingpins: The policy is different at just about all hosps - some use 7500 units for Quint. - some none
for PICC some do? #IVchat
8/18/2010 20:47
InfusionNurse: Use lowest conc of hep..RT @nursingpins: What is the newest best practice for hep. PICC
