New Hampshire IV Therapy Education
As a prerequisite of this
The New Hampshire IV Therapy Education curriculum has been designed to fulfill the New Hampshire Board of Nursing’s education components required for the Licensed Practical Nurse to practice infusion therapy. The New Hampshire Board of Nursing has delineated very specific content to be included in the LPN infusion education curriculum and specifics may be viewed in the New Hampshire BON Organizational Rules, Chapter 604.07 Curriculum. This comprehensive online education program meets the New Hampshire Board of Nursing IV Therapy requirements for LPN’s, as well as, provides an excellent refresher course for the Registered Nurse or as a primer for new RN’s. The New Hampshire BON Organizational Rules, in Chapter 604.08 Participants, lists additional criteria for intravenous therapy course participants.
In early 2016, the Infusion Nurses Society (INS), recognized as the global authority in infusion therapy, released the updated Infusion Therapy Standards of Practice. The INS establishes the accepted standards for infusion therapy practice for all healthcare settings, and for all healthcare clinicians providing infusion therapies and vascular access, addressing the needs of special patient populations. This online IV therapy course is based on the current best practices as defined by the Infusion Nursing Society and other governing agencies such as the CDC and FDA.
This 32-hour continuing education course provides
Within the course content, the participant is provided a complete set of skill competency checklists for completion of the clinical portion of the course. The competency verifications are completed by a New Hampshire licensed registered nurse preceptor or educator, when guided and supported by the LPN’s facility policies. The participant is also required to register for a 4-hour skills session with New England Vascular Access (NEVA). NEVA will provide the participant with hands-on instruction and skill competency evaluations, as required by the NHBON. The purchase price of this course covers the didactic portion of the course, the 4 hour skills session with NEVA, and all IV supplies required. Facilities may purchase this course for their nurses by contacting us at support@pedagogyeducation.com.
After successful completion of the didactic portion of the online IV therapy course, you may click here to register for the skills portion of the course - please select LPN IV Therapy Course Part 2, when registering.

Curriculum
Section 1 - New Hampshire Legalities of Infusion Therapy
It is imperative that all nurses understand the rules and regulations set forth by the state that governs the nurse’s practice. Each state has rules and regulations that differ from one another, therefore it is necessary for each nurse to know the specific state(s) in which he or she practices; guidelines, rules and laws. The following information guides facilities, organizations, and all licensed nurses regarding the New Hampshire's State Board of Nursing's guidelines pertaining to infusion therapy practices. The New Hampshire State Board of Nursing, through the nurse practice act, mandates the requirements that must be followed to practice infusion therapy. This module will guide you through the New Hampshire's State Board of Nursing website, nurse practice act, scope of practice and delegation procedures that impact the provision of infusion therapies by nurses. It is always recommended that the Board’s website is checked independently as any state board can append, amend and change the rules and regulations that nurses are expected to follow.

Section 7 - Prevention and Management of Intravenous Extravasation
Intravenous therapy is one of the most common nursing processes. However, administering medications and/or solutions intravenously is not without significant risk. One of these risks is extravasation, the inadvertent infusion of a vesicant into tissue rather than into the intended venous system. This complication can result in catastrophic injury and is the basis of a large number of malpractice lawsuits. To protect the nurse, the facility, other members of the healthcare team and, most of all, the patient, the nurse must be knowledgeable regarding appropriate I.V. sites, which drugs and solutions are vesicants, and the appropriate actions to take in the event of an extravasation. Extravasations cannot be eliminated in all circumstances, but appropriate care can minimize the risk, as well as the negative effects when it does occur. This instructional module has been designed to provide the relevant information needed to meet this goal.

Section 8 - Hypodermoclysis
This section has been designed to provide information regarding the use of hypodermoclysis, also known simply as clysis, to achieve rehydration in patients who might otherwise require hospitalization. Dehydration is a common occurrence, especially in the older population. Clysis is an optimal means of administering non-emergent parenteral fluids in a familiar, comfortable environment. This intervention is cost-effective, easy to administer, and safer than intravenous rehydration, but many nurses are unfamiliar with the therapy. This module will prepare the licensed clinician to provide this valuable intervention, thereby decreasing the risk of hospitalization with its associated risks and costs.

Section 9 - Intravenous Antibiotics Pharmacology: AntifungalsThis section has been designed for nurses administering and/or caring for the patient receiving intravenous antifungal agents. Until the late 1960’s few antifungal agents were available. Although new medications significantly changed the treatment of these infections, antifungal resistance has already forced an ever-increasing arsenal of drugs. In this often-changing landscape, the nurse needs a working knowledge of the antimicrobial agents available, and competency to infuse these medications in all the various administration systems in use today. This module examines the available intravenous antifungal medications.

This section has been designed for nurses administering and/or caring for the patient receiving intravenous antibiotics. I.V. antibiotics have been administered for nearly a century but bacterial resistance has forced an ever-increasing arsenal of drugs. In this often- changing landscape, the nurse needs a working knowledge of the antimicrobial agents available, and competency to infuse these medications in all the various administration systems in use today. There are numerous antimicrobial classifications; too numerous to include in one all-inclusive module. As such, Pedagogy has developed a series of modules covering intravenous antimicrobial agents.
