To gain your Canterbury/West Coast
Level 1 IV Competency
Assessments
– Clinical calculations Assessment (100%)
– Theory Assessment/s based on Volume 12 (85%)
– IV Practical Checklist (100%)
It is expected that all Registered Nurses, Midwives
and new EN Scope attain their level 1 IV
Competency (unless exempted by workplace eg. Mental Health)
No recertification is required, instead regular clinical audits
occur. Recertification is only required if away from the
organisation for over 12 Months
1. Attend Mandatory IV Lecture
2. Complete all theory and practical sections of the
Canterbury and West Coast IV Assessment
3. Understand the action and reaction of the
medication that you are administering
4. You agree to accept the responsibility for the
administration of the prescribed intravenous
therapy.
Your Level 1 IV Competency is a pre-requisite
for attaining the following competencies
Level 2
IV Competency
Level 2 IV allows a staff member to care for
and access the following IV devices – PICC ,
Hickman and Central Venous lines. Also an
additional portacath Competency can be
attained if required for your area
Venepuncture
Venepuncture, allows a staff member to obtain
blood from a peripheral blood vessel.
IV Peripheral
Cannulation
The Peripheral IV Cannulation competency
allows the staff member to place a peripheral
cannula in a blood vessel

Double Independent Checking
Double Independent Checking is the key step in the
medication safety process
• Both staff interpret the prescription independently
• Both staff perform calculations independently
• Both Staff perform the patient identification checks at the
patients bedside
• Both staff are present through all stages of preparation,
drawing up and administration of the medication.
Role of the Double Independent Checker
• The Double Independent Checker is just as legally
accountable as the person administering the drug
• They must be present for ALL stages:
Preparation and drawing up
Administration
Bedside checks
Documentation
Includes TWO staff to the bedside
CDHB (2012) Fluid and Medication Checking Procedure
Medications that require Double Independent
Checking
Any Controlled Drug/Infusion
Any Blood or Blood Products
Warfarin and Oral Cytotoxic’s
AND
Any fluid/medication administered by the below routes
Intra muscular
Intra dermal
Subcutaneous
Intravenous
Intrapleural
Intrathecal
Epidural route
Transitioned Enrolled Nurses
Need to Gain the following competencies
1. Independent Medication Administration
Competency. This will enable an enrolled Nurse
to independently administer oral medications, and
undertake independent double checking
responsibilities. This is attained by completing the
clinical calculations and theory components of the
level 1 IV therapy competency.
Please Note: Exceptions only where local policy stipulates - e.g. rural, specialist mental health. For Child Health
and Neonatal Policy please refer to Volume Q

Transitioned Enrolled Nurses
Enrolled Nurses who have not transitioned –
and/or do not hold their competencies
2. Level 1 IV Competency (EN Scope)
Must check all Medications and Fluids with their
designated Registered Nurse
May clamp tubing or turn off a pump if an infusion
has completed
Monitor whether an IV infusion is running to time
Perform hourly patient checks when an IV infusion
is in progress
Maintain the patient fluid balance record
Once a transitioned Enrolled Nurse has completed their Level 1 IV
Competency they can;
– Enrolled Nurses can double independent check with another
Enrolled Nurse who has also completed their independent
medication administration competency when their designated
registered health professional is not available
– May Administer IV Saline Flushes as per local policy
– May Administer IV fluids (without additives or Potassium)
– May Administer IV or SC Premixed bags i.e. N/Saline 0.9% or
Dextrose 4% in N/saline 0.18% premixed bags which are running 812 hourly (Adults only)
Verbal Telephone Orders
• Can be initiated by Registered Nurses and Midwives
• For ‘Urgent’ clinical situations when the prescriber is
unavailable to come to the clinical area
• Recorded in Red on the prescription chart
• Repeated by prescriber to second checker (RN/RM/EN but
not student nurse)
• One verbal order for a class A or B drug is acceptable if a
pre-existing order for that drug is present
• Exceptions e.g epidural boluses, blood, paediatrics,
significant renal disease or abortion inducing medications
Complications of IV Therapy
Verbal Orders in an Emergency Situation
The verbal order is given by the Medical Officer
The verbal order is repeated to the medical officer by the nurse
receiving the order and also provides a running total of the
amount of drug the patient has already received
The Medication is then drawn up by the nurse who received the
order
The Verbal order is repeated by the nurse as the medication is
handed to the Medical Officer, and the ampoule is second
checked by the Medical Officer.
The order is documented, and then signed by the Medical
Officer at the conclusion of the Emergency Situation.

loratadine both 20 mg PO.
Hydrocortisone 200 mg IV (onset of action 4-6 hours).
Intravenous fluids - normal saline to maintain blood pressure.
Nebulised salbutamol 5 mg (bronchospasm).
Nebulised adrenaline 2 ml of 1:1000 (2 mg) diluted to 4 ml in normal saline (stridor).
IV adrenaline is indicated if the situation is life threatening with circulatory collapse, and/or
the patient is unresponsive to the above initial treatment. Cardiovascular monitoring must be
available. Begin with 0.5-1 ml of 1:10,000 (0.05 mg to 0.1 mg) and increase dose

Why do we give transfusions?
• To correct loss:
- bleeding, destruction, reduced production
- plasma - burns
• To increase Haemaglobin
• To correct clotting deficits – induced by disease
processes or medications
• Neonatal exchange transfusion
• To boost the immune system
Key risks of receiving a blood transfusion
•
•
•
•
HIV – Less than 1 in a million.
Hepatitis C – Less than 1 in a million
Hepatitis B – one in 100,000.
Bacterial Infections – less than 1 in a
100,000.
• Patient given blood that does not match.

How are blood products prescribed
Blood products are prescribed on the Fluid Prescription
form:
– Number of units
– Rate of transfusion
– Any pre med
– Any diuretic required
– Blood warmer
– Irradiated product
Before getting the blood product
•
•
•
•
•
•
Discuss with the patient and explain the procedure
Obtain Baseline TPR,SpO2, and BP
Record on normal observation chart.
Check IV device – is it patent?
Check consent & prescription
Then…Send blood request form to blood bank, or go
and collect. A Registered Nurse or Midwife needs to
sign as the requester
Medical staff must complete the Blood Bank request form
and not the usual Laboratory form
Blood Collection Points – Christchurch Hospital
Blood Collection Points – Other Hospitals
To collect the blood, you can use the NZ
Blood Service Blood Bank which is on the
lower ground floor of the Parkside block. As
the blood is dispensed by laboratory
scientists it can be obtained/delivered by
As there is no Blood Service onsite, blood is
delivered from the NZBS at Christchurch
Hospital via taxi, ambulance or shuttle. Once it
arrives it is put into the blood fridge in your
location, where it can be collected.
– Orderlies/Hospital Aides
– Nursing and Midwifery Staff
– Sending the request via the Lamson Tube
System (delivered this way as well)
Blood Fridge TPMH

30/01/2013
At the Bedside
When transfusing
Two Nurses/Midwives must check blood details & patient
details at the patients side.
–The Requester must be CDHB IV certified, EN’s must have
their level 1 IV Certification to second check blood
products.
Check the appearance of unit of blood for
– The presence of clots, clumps or abnormal cloudiness
You must check – The patients hospital armband for clarification of
patient identification against the Prescription chart and the blood
request form which is returned with unit of blood.
Filter ?
If it is Fresh, it
needs a Filter
If it comes in a
bottle – no need
to use filter
You can’t mix Blood !
Blood must NOT
be mixed with
any other DRUG
or SOLUTION
other than
Normal Saline.
• Always uses a 20 micron filter
• Change the filter after every 2 bags of blood or 8 hourly –
whichever comes first
• Only one unit of blood is administered at a time.
• Commence the transfusion within 30 minutes of issuing, if you
suspect delay, return the blood to Blood Bank/Blood fridge
immediately
• Complete the transfusion within 4 hours
• Discard tubing and bag, place sticker on the back of the blood
request form and then document the date and time completed
NEVER PUT BLOOD IN A WARD FRIDGE
Observations during the transfusion
Remain with patient for
the first full 15 minutes
15 mins

C. Consider giving an
antipyretic for pyrexia and
antihistamine for urticaria
D. Continue transfusion at a
slower rate with increased
monitoring
If symptoms increase treat as
a moderate reaction.
Moderate or
Severe Reaction ?

at the
conclusion of
the transfusion
Start again for
each new unit
Action !
A. Stop the transfusion
immediately and review
B. Check the blood bag details
against patient ID to ensure it
is the correct blood product.
C. Disconnect blood & IV set
(keep don’t discard) This will
be sent to the blood bank for
testing
D. Flush cannula to keep patent.
E. Call for medical assistance
Follow NZBS transfusion protocol
