Do nurses get sued for I.V. Therapy practice?

The leading claim filed that is related to I.V. Therapy is for I.V. infiltrations. Other claims that I.V. experts have reviewed include, but are not limited to, nerve injury, catheter fracture, and drug extravasation injury. Lack of knowledge of current Infusion Nurses Society (INS) standards of practice may expose the nurse to liability and involvement in a claim. This course will review the four points of negligence that must be identified before a claim may proceed and recommendations for appropriate I.V. practice to protect against possible liability.
