    Intravenous therapy is the direct administration of liquid substances into a vein. It is used to maintain homeostasis and replace additional fluid or electrolyte losses when oral intake is not adequate. The main purposes of IV therapy are to supply fluid for clients unable to take adequate volume orally, provide needed salts and electrolytes to maintain balance, and rapidly administer medications when needed. Proper equipment, solutions, gauges, insertion, and termination are required for safe intravenous therapy. New technologies and strategies aim to prevent common issues like skin damage and contribute to safer intravenous practices.
