A patient who is undergoing intravenous therapy should not perform isometric exercises because it may lead to bleeding and injury at the injection site. During a shower, the patient should protect the injection site and dressing from getting wet by covering it with plastic. Applying pressure with sterile gauze at the injection site if the catheter falls out helps to reduce bleeding. Inflammation and itching at the injection site may be an indication of infection and phlebitis; the patient should report these manifestations immediately.

Svetlanka [38]

The revised trauma score (RTS) is 9.

<h3>What is revised trauma score?</h3>

Based on a patient's initial vital signs, the Revised Trauma Score (RTS) is a physiologic grading system. A lower score denotes a more serious injury.

Glasgow Coma Scale, systolic blood pressure, and respiration rate are the three components that make up the Revised Trauma Score. The range of scores is 0–12. According to START triage, a patient with an RTS score of 12 is classified as delayed, 11 as urgent, and 3–10 as imminent. Because it is extremely improbable that they will survive without a lot of resources, those with an RTS below 3 are considered dead and shouldn't receive particular care.
