A nurse is using an in-line filter when administering a prescribed dosage of IV fluid to a client. In which of the following situations does the nurse know that an in-line filter is specifically used?
A) When administering solutions in rigid glass containers
B) When infusing IV solutions to pediatric clients
C) When the client is receiving intravenous antibiotics
D) When administering nasogastric nutrition
B
Feedback:
Filtered tubing is generally used when infusing IV solutions to pediatric clients, as it removes air bubbles as well as undissolved drugs, bacteria, and large substances. Vented tubing, not an in-line filter, is necessary when administering solutions in a rigid glass container. An in-line filter is used when the client is at high risk for infection and when administering blood and packed cells, and not when administering nasogastric nutrition to a client.
