Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Home I.V. Antibiotic Therapy has been an accepted form of treatment for infections requiring parenteral forms of antibiotics since the late 1970s. Most clients successfully complete their course of therapy without complications, but for those who do not, interventions can be instituted to reach a successful completion of therapy. It takes the creativity and special skills of the I.V. Therapy nurse to overcome some of these obstacles. With proper training and identification of potential problems, most clients can finish their course of I.V. Antibiotics without incident.
