<u>The steps involved to treat the infiltrated IV site</u> are;

  1. Stop infusion.
  2. Raise the extremity  
  3. Compress the area with cold and warm substance.

The nurse should restart the same process of infusion from another extremity.

Further Explanation:

The reduction in the concentration of blood is called hypovolemic disease. It <u>can occur due to excess blood and fluid loss.</u> In the beginning, the body helps in balancing the fluid concentration by increasing the heart rate, constriction of vessels and contraction, but it did not last for longer. The <u>hypovolemic disease is treated by intravenous fluid transfer and blood transfusion.</u> It is required for increased blood volume. The transfer may cause infiltration, and several steps help in hydration needs are:

  1. At the time of infiltration, the nurse should stop further infusion and also remove the catheter.
  2. The nurse should raise the extremity.
  3. The nurse should increase the active range of motion.
  4. The area of infiltration should be compressed with warm and cold substances. The type of substance depends upon the type of solution infuse.
  5. Restart the process at a different location.

To maintain the hydration requirement of the patient, the nurse has to begin the same process at different extremities.

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.

Explain why it makes sense that sperm and egg cells have 1/2 the amount of chromosomes than a normal cell that is not involved i
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

The sperm and egg have 1/2 the amount because when the sperm fertilizes the egg, it equals out to the regular amount of chromosomes. That is why we have half chromosomes from our dad and half chromosomes from our mom, equaling out to normal amount of chromosomes.
