Most infusion-related complications
are preventable with proper
care and monitoring. Both right care
and right monitoring happen when
the nurse is knowledgeable and competent
in performing the procedure,
as well as in understanding the rationale
for and proper use of devices. As
stated in Standard 6, Competence and
Competency Validation, the nurse is
responsible and accountable for attaining
and maintaining competence
with infusion therapy.
