completed, and the policy went into effect this week. An RN is assigned
to the nursing care of patients on this floor and is told about the new
policy by the Charge Nurse. The RN is wondering if this policy is OK

PCAs to start IVs and flush IV access devices today. The RN has 2
patients with IV access devices. What should the RN do? Correct
