About IV Therapy by Unlicensed Assistive Personnel (UAP)

State Medical Boards regulate delegation of IV therapy tasks from physicians to medical assistants (MAs) and other unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP). Regulations vary greatly among states, and very few identify any form of scope of practice for IV therapy by MAs and UAPs.

Depending on the state regulation, physicians and other licensed independent practitioners (LIPs) may delegate infusion related tasks to UAPs. Though, prior to delegation, the delegating professional must confirm the UAP has successfully completed an IV therapy training program (sometimes referred as IV certification program) and is competent to perform delegated tasks. Ongoing supervision and accountability are essential parts of the delegation.

This comprehensive infusion therapy education and hand-on IV therapy training program is prepared for registered nurses with little or no experience in peripheral or central vascular infusion therapy and those who wish to advance their career in IV infusion therapy nurse. This IV therapy course prepare clinicians to manage patients receiving complex intravenous therapies in hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, patients’ homes and other clinical settings.

Upon completion of this 20-hour IV infusion therapy course, attendees gain knowledge and skills to:

• Insert short peripheral IV catheters with minimal attempts
• Clinical guidelines and nursing management of diverse infusion therapies
• Use and manage peripheral catheters, midlines, PICC and all types of vascular access devices
• Access, de-access and manage implanted vascular access port (Port-a-Cath)
• De-clot PICC and other central vascular access devices (CVADs) with Cathflo Activase (alteplase)
• Remove midline, PICC and non-tunneled CVCs
• Documentation Guidelines
