IV and Venipuncture
OBJECTIVES/COMPETENCIES: At the end of this lab, students will be able to:
- Demonstrate and review appropriate IV catheterization: indications, contraindications, technique, and equipment.
- Demonstrate and review appropriate Venipuncture: indications, contraindications, technique, and equipment.
