Policies and Procedures for Infusion Nursing of the Pediatric Patient

INS recognizes that consistency in clinical practice yields better patient outcomes. With that in mind, the Policies and Procedures for Infusion Nursing of the Pediatric Patient was developed. This publication complements INS’ Infusion Nursing Standards of Practice (2011), and serves as guide to clinical practice. Most of the topics addressed fit in the typical policies and procedures format with the policy defining a course of action to be taken, followed by the procedure as detailed step-by-step.

CONSIDERATIONS, which are noted at the beginning of each policy, are intended to enhance the nurse’s knowledge of the pediatric patient receiving infusion care. Developed by experts in infusion care, Policies and Procedures for Infusion Nursing of the Pediatric Patient is the only resource for nurses who want to deliver the very best care for their pediatric patients.
