Question

The nurse educator is teaching the class of nurses about infusion control in children. The nurse knows that more education is needed when the student nurse states: "It is important to accurately document IV fluid intake on any infant/child undergoing IV therapy." "No special pumps are needed for the pediatric client; I can use the same one that we use with adult clients." "To avoid overloading the circulation and inducing cardiac failure, the IV drip rate must be slow for the infant or small child." "The rate of infusion for infants and children must be carefully monitored, and an infusion control device must be used."
