1. Touch

2. Observe

The hand or foot with an IV fluid infusion is not red and swollen, with the dressing fixed in place.

3. Compare

Reminders

• When the nursing staff want to check the situation of children's intravenous drip, it may disturb their rest; but this is for the sake of their health, please cooperate with the medical staff.
• If your child needs to change clothes when still on a drip, do not change clothes for them, so as to avoid pulling the tube accidently.
• Please inform the medical staff immediately if you find that there is blood leakage in the child's IV tube, infusion doesn't go well, or other problems.
