The nursing student is administering an IV push to a patient with a saline lock. The student calculates the correct dose of the medication and dilutes the medication per the manufacturer’s recommendations. The student cleanses the injection port of the IV lock with an alcohol swab for 15 seconds and inserts the medication syringe. The student pushes the drug over 5 minutes. The student removes the medication syringe and cleanses the IV lock injection port again with alcohol. The student then attaches a NS syringe and injects the contents slowly into the IV lock.
