“…Concern has been expressed about the risk of patient harm associated with the lack of PVC skills among registered nurses (Binner et al, 2011;Carr et al, 2016;Milutinović, Simin, & Zec, 2015;Missen, McKenna, Beauchamp, & Larkins, 2016;Zamanzadeh, Jasemi, Valizadeh, Keogh, & Taleghani, 2015). For example, vein inflammation, phlebitis, is a common complication of PVC (Carr et al, 2016;Hadaway, 2012;Meeder, van der Steen, Rozendaal, & van Zanten, 2016;Milutinović et al, 2015;Niël-Weise, Stijnen, & van den Broek, 2010), diagnosed by clinical symptoms such as pain and signs of local infection (Carr et al, 2016). Several factors have been associated with the development of phlebitis, such as mechanical factors caused by the use of inadequate equipment and lack of skill of the inserter (Milutinović et al, 2015), and infection factors caused by catheter contamination (Hadaway, 2012).…”
