Setting up secondary IV tubing involves several steps: 1. Verify the medication order and gather supplies, including the secondary IV bag, secondary tubing, and alcohol swabs. 2. Perform hand hygiene and don gloves. 3. Spike the secondary IV bag with the secondary tubing and prime the line by allowing fluid to flow through it. 4. Clean the injection port of the primary tubing with an alcohol swab. 5. Connect the secondary tubing to the primary IV line at the designated Y-port. 6. Adjust the secondary infusion rate using the infusion pump or manual roller clamp as per the physician’s order.
