Training - Blood Withdrawal Training Program. Depending on your training needs,
you can choose one of three training options: Intravenous Therapy Training
Program (Only), Blood Withdrawal Training Program (Only), or Intravenous
Therapy and Blood Withdrawal Training Program (Combination). Each of these
training options are discussed in further detail below:
TRAINING OPTION I: INTRAVENOUS THERAPY TRAINING (Only)
The purpose of this course is to provide you with the knowledge and skills to safely
administer fluids, electrolytes, nutrients, blood, and blood products to your patients
in an organized health care facility. We are confident that upon completion of the
theory and clinical phase of training you will possess the knowledge and skills to
provide this valuable therapy to your patients.
This training program is provided to you in two distinct phases, Phase I (Theory)
and Phase II (Clinical):
Phase I:
Phase I is theory based training wherein students attend live lectures provided by a
Board approved instructor for 24 hours. The following training is provided:
1) Lectures in furtherance of meeting course objectives. Students are expected
to take part in the learning process through interactions with their peers and
instructor;
2) Video and Power-Point presentations are used to reinforced information
presented in the student’s training manual and provided in class during the lecture;
3) Visual curing provides the student with their first exposure to Intravenous
Therapy by observing the instructor perform step by step demonstrations of the
procedures on a mannequin;
4) Students are also provided training in I.V. calculations and will be required to
demonstrate the ability to determine the correct flow rate using an infusion pump
and drops per minute when a gravity flow delivery set-up is used.
5) Familiarization training is provided in the use of various types of
venipuncture devices and delivery systems used in intravenous therapy;
6) Student participates in simulated patient scenarios in which they will
encounter a patient that may be cooperative, uncooperative, or even unconscious.
Additionally, techniques to employ when administering intravenous therapy to
children and infants is provided;
7) Student’s knowledge and performance is assessed based on classroom
participation and a final examination.
Phase II:
Phase II is the clinical phase of training students. Students must successfully
complete Phase I to enter Phase II. The clinical phase of training is completed in 6
hours.
1) Student demonstrates the ability to take a telephone order;
2) Student verifies the physician’s order;
3) Student introduces self and informs the patient of the physician’s order
4) Student answers any questions patient may have;
5) Student selects the appropriate intravenous fluid to be infused;
6) Student selects the paper equipment to be used (via I.V. pump or gravity
flow);
7) Student demonstrates ability to calculate proper rate of infusion via I.V.
pump or gravity flow;
8) Student demonstrates ability to regulate intravenous infusion by gravity flow;
9) Student demonstrates ability to regulate intravenous infusion using an I.V.
pump (Infusion Control Device).
10) Student demonstrates proper hand washing technique;
11) Student properly identifies the patient using two methods;
12) Student demonstrates ability to select the appropriate vein for use;
13) Student demonstrates ability to property apply a tourniquet;
14) Student successfully performs intravenous therapy;
15) Student successfully discontinues intravenous therapy.
Overriding Principle:
Administering intravenous fluid is both an art and a science. Through this course
you will learn the science of administering IV fluids and to a significant degree, the
art as well. Yet, the art of administering IV fluids will improve with practice and it is
important to keep your skills current by taking part in administering IV fluids even
though you may not be the particular nurse assigned the duty. Therefore, when
you have an opportunity to “help out” another nurse, be sure you do!
