I.V. Therapy
Intravenous therapy or IV therapy is the giving of liquid substances directly into a vein. It can be intermittent or continuous; continuous administration is called an intravenous drip. The word intravenous simply means "within a vein", but is most commonly used to refer to IV therapy. Therapies administered intravenously are often called specialty pharmaceuticals. Through Providence Care it is possible to receive intravenous therapy at home, including medications, complete nutrition, & hydration.
Upon qualifying for this program, a nurse is available to assist patients, or teach patients or caregivers how to administer the proper therapy.
