ANSWERS
LISTENING
Answer: B. The risk of infiltration is minimal with proper care.
Rationale: While the conversation acknowledges the risk of infiltration, it also emphasizes that this risk can be minimized by using proper techniques and monitoring the insertion site. This suggests that with appropriate care, the risk of infiltration is not significant. Options A and C are not supported by the information provided in the conversation.
READING
Answer: C. Proper care of IV cannulas is crucial to prevent complications.
Rationale: The text emphasizes the importance of proper technique and ongoing monitoring of IV cannulas to prevent complications such as infiltration, phlebitis, and infection. While the passage doesn’t explicitly state that IV cannulas are only for medications, it does highlight their use for administering fluids and blood products. Options A and B are incorrect, as IV cannulas have a wider range of uses and are not always risk-free.

SPEAKING
Mihiraa, I know it can be concerning to see your child with an IV, but it’s an important tool to help them feel better. The IV allows us to provide fluids and medications directly into their bloodstream, which is especially helpful when they’re unable to drink or eat enough on their own.
This can help prevent dehydration and ensure that the body gets the nutrients and support it needs to heal. In some cases, the IV may also be used to administer antibiotics to treat infections. Please don’t hesitate to ask if you have any questions about the IV or the treatment plan.
