a client with hypovolemia has been prescribed intravenous fluid at 125ml/hr. the iv site to provide hydration has infiltrated. what steps will the nurse take to treat the infiltrated iv site? and what will the nurse do to address the client's hydration needs?

The following are the steps the nurse would take to treat the infiltrated site:  

1. Stop the infusion and remove the catheter

2. Elevate the extremity

3. Encourage an active range of motion

4. Apply a cold or warm compress depending on the solution infusing

5. Restart the infusion proximal to the location or in another extremity

Now, in order to address hydration requirements of the client, the nurse will have to begin a novel peripheral intravenous in another extremity or to again start the infusion if intravenous access has been created.
