Complete chapter-by-chapter study guide aligned with Phillips's Manual of I.V. Therapeutics: Evidence-Based Practice for Infusion Therapy (8th Edition). Includes summaries, learning objectives, and NCLEX-style practice questions for all 12 chapters.
Overview
Phillips's Manual of I.V. Therapeutics (8th Edition) by Lisa Gorski is a leading evidence-based reference for infusion therapy, grounded in the Infusion Therapy Standards of Practice. This study guide is built to follow it chapter by chapter, so you review in the same order your instructor teaches — from professional practice issues and infection prevention, through the fundamentals of fluid and electrolyte balance, parenteral solutions, and infusion equipment, into peripheral I.V. catheter initiation and maintenance, phlebotomy techniques, and central venous access, and then through complications of peripheral and central vascular access devices, infusion medication safety and routes, transfusion therapy, and parenteral nutrition. It pulls out the high-yield standards, safety principles, and complication-management steps you need for exams and clinical practice. It is an independent, aligned study companion — not the textbook itself and not a reproduction of its content.
Aligned with infusion-therapy and fluid-and-electrolyte content in nursing courses and continuing education, supporting course exams and infusion-related certification review such as the CRNI.
