Record-keeping is one of the legal and professional responsibilities of nurses. This study aims to determine the record-keeping behavior of nurses regarding intravenous fluid treatment (IVFT). The study was conducted with 150 nurses working in adult clinics of a 936-bed university hospital. The most frequently fulfilled record-keeping behaviors were solution type, total solution amount, and date of treatment. The least frequent fulfilled behaviors were the diagnosis of patients and the time of passage of medication added to the solution. The nurses never recorded type of i.v. fluid treatment, complications, and discontinuation of therapy. According to findings of the study, the record-keeping behavior of nurses regarding IVFT is not at the desired level.

Intravenous care: the benefits of closed-system connectors

Following a review of venous access care, a needleless closed-system connector was introduced to Plymouth Hospitals NHS Trust. A cannulation audit and a survey of central catheter care found a wide diversity of practice. The objective was to write a procedure for central line care that could be used by most clinical departments and that could be employed to improve the standard of cannula care. A trust-wide review found that staff appeared unconcerned about the care of cannulae and rarely documented their practice. In addition, general wards had a misguided idea of what central line care involved as a result of their infrequent exposure to them and the inconsistent information given to them by specialist wards. To help unify practice and simplify information a different approach was required. This led to a 12-month, nurse-led project to develop a tender specification for closed-system connectors and a 2-year contract being awarded to Kimal plc for its Clave connector.
