To secure an IV line properly, follow these steps:
1. Clean the Site: Ensure the insertion site is properly cleaned with an antiseptic. 2. Apply a Transparent Dressing: This allows for visual inspection of the site. 3. Use a Securement Device: Apply a sutureless securement device to anchor the catheter. 4. Loop the Tubing: Secure the tubing with tape to prevent tension on the insertion site.
