Description
IV therapy has become a routine component of home health care. Providing IV therapy in the home offers patients and families an increased quality of life, sense of participation in therapy, and feeling of control over illness. Additionally, home IV therapy usually results in a decreased overall cost of therapy. This handbook provides accessible, accurate and concise information on the major home infusion therapies including IV line assessment and management.
