IV medication administration

IV medication administration involves delivering drugs directly into a patient’s vein through a thin, flexible tube called an IV line. This method allows the medication to quickly enter the bloodstream for rapid effect. It’s typically used in hospitals for precise dosing, continuous treatment, or when a patient cannot take medications by mouth. The process requires careful preparation, sterile technique, and monitoring to ensure safety and effectiveness. Healthcare providers insert the IV, administer the medication through it, and monitor the patient for any reactions or complications during the treatment.
