A nurse needs to administer 250 ml of IV solution to a client. The IV solution is packaged in a rigid glass container. Which of the following types of tubing should the nurse choose?
A) Vented tubing
B) Nasogastric tubing
C) Unvented tubing
D) Primary tubing
A
Feedback:
Vented tubing is necessary for administering IV solutions packaged in rigid glass containers because when unvented tubing is inserted into a glass bottle, the solution does not leave the container. Primary tubing is used when the tubing must span the distance from a solution that hangs several feet above the infusion site. Nasogastric tubing is used to administer liquid foods to the client.
