a client with hypovolemia has been prescribed intravenous fluid at 125ml/hr. the iv site to provide hydration has infiltrated. what steps will the nurse take to treat the infiltrated iv site? and what will the nurse do to address the client's hydration needs?

The following are the steps the nurse would take to treat the infiltrated site:  

1. Stop the infusion and remove the catheter

2. Elevate the extremity

3. Encourage an active range of motion

4. Apply a cold or warm compress depending on the solution infusing

5. Restart the infusion proximal to the location or in another extremity

Now, in order to address hydration requirements of the client, the nurse will have to begin a novel peripheral intravenous in another extremity or to again start the infusion if intravenous access has been created.  

c.) polymerase chain reaction

- "unlike the original dna fingerprinting method, dna profiling does not use restriction enzymes to cut the dna. instead it uses the polymerase chain reaction (pcr)? to produce many copies of specific str sequences. pcr is an automated procedure that generates lots of copies of a specific sequence of dna."

measuring light intensity

light meters can be used to measure light intensity. the meter is held at the soil surface and pointed in the direction of the maximum light intensity, and then the meter is read.

errors can be made when measuring light intensity by accidentally shading the light meter. the reliability of the results can be checked by taking many samples.
