EFFECTIVE STORAGE OF IV SOLUTIONS
Abstract
IV solutions are utilized for a number of objectives, including the formulation of a drug basis and are frequently mixed with other treatments that have been mistreated. LVPs are sold in main packaging materials that require cautious handling to avoid damage from fractures, which can lead to contamination of I.V. fluids. In this regard, nurse training might be critical in ensuring that overall IV solutions are carefully controlled and ethics. This paper focuses on the critical nursing practices on effective storage of IV solution. The report further discusses it's consequences along with the evaluation of the evidences and makes further recommendation based on the arguments presented...

Introduction
This paper highlights the effective storage of IV solution in nursing practice. Microbial growth and contamination of intravenous fluids are possible. Particulate particles might cause an unfavorable medication response. LVPs are sold in main packaging materials that require cautious handling to avoid damage from fractures, which can lead to contamination of I.V. fluids.
This paper identifies the major issues related to ineffective storage of IVS and its impacts. Further, it will be discussed about the changes that can be taken place with the evidence of official sources. Additionally, this paper shows the evaluation of the evidences and makes recommendation based on the argument. Lastly, it will be concluded summarizing the information throughout the essay.
Practice Problem and its Impact
Patients, their families, and even the environment may be harmed by improper storage of IVS. Inadequate pharmaceutical storage can cause pharmacological qualities to alter, resulting in unintentional poisoning. As a result, it is critical to perform community research to learn about cu
ent storage and disposal procedures for medical items.
For instance, Prescrire, a French regulatory agency, investigated the packaging of all new pharmaceutical goods in 2006. Tablets or pills, usually in blister packs, were found in almost 75% of these parcels. Pre-cut multiple-unit blister packs, on which labelling is shortened when a unit blister is removed, and pre-cut multiple-unit blister packs, on which labelling is truncated when a unit blister is removed, are becoming more frequent on blister packs (Ofek et al., 2016).
Some injectable medicine labels are scarcely readable, and different types of plastic ampoules might be a cause of mistake. Pictograms are increasingly appearing on medicine packaging, despite the fact that various studies have shown them to be difficult to understand. In 2006, no childproof safety cap was found on 67 multidose bottles. Some of the items included psychoactive medications, which can be fatal if swallowed in excessive quantities by mistake (PPMag.com, 2012).
Supporting Evidence for Change
When exposed to temperatures outside the prescribed range, IVS become less effective, if not destroyed. When cold-sensitive IVS are frozen, their effectiveness is lost immediately. The cumulative loss of potency caused by repeated exposure to heat events is i
eversible. There is a scarcity of information on IVS deterioration. Some manufacturers have come up with practical solutions to these issues.
For instance, The French regulatory body took a number of steps in 2006 to improve the labelling of ampoules containing injectable medications. Labelling (e.g., Braille) and patient information booklets are improved under European Directive. The incorporation of these provisions into French legislation is expected to result in a number of benefits (Ohashi et al., 2013).
Another evidence of change goes, in hospitals, intravenous potassium chloride (IV KCl) solutions are commonly used to treat hypokalemia. Critical occu
ences have been linked to the manufacture and administration of concentrated KCL ampoules because they must be diluted before use. To reduce the usage of high-alert concentrated KCl, researchers have produced ready-to-use diluted KCl infusion solutions (Ofek et al., 2016).
A problem is the absence of a consistent approach for assessing these inaccuracies. Researchers used a participatory design method with interdisciplinary experts to construct iteratively a web-based data-collecting tool to capture IV medication mistakes in this study. An academic medical facility conducted a prevalence research using the created instrument.
