Sometimes I will need to get an I.V.

An I.V. is a tiny soft straw that my nurse will use to give me
medicine and other things that take care of me. The I.V. goes into a vein inside a part of the body like my arm, hand, or foot. This is
what it will look like.

The nurse will connect the tiny soft straw to a tube. My medicine will go through from the tube from a machine
like this.

Before I get my I.V., my nurse and parents will make sure I am comfortable. Maybe my nurse will tell me to sit up. It will be
important that I remain still.

When it is time to get my I.V., a nurse will put a stretchy band around my arm. The stretchy band might feel very tight. It is tight
to help my nurse see my veins.

I will keep my body very still. Maybe another nurse will hold my arm, hand, or foot still so it does not move.

My nurse will use a special wipe to clean part of my body which is where the I.V. will go.

When it is clean, my nurse will be ready to put in the I.V. I can ask my nurse to count to 3 so I can get ready too. I can choose to
watch or I can choose to look away.

Then, my nurse will put the I.V. needle in. The tiny soft straw has a needle
inside of it. The needle will not stay in my arm and my nurse will take it right out, but the tiny soft straw will stay.

My nurse will put tape over the little straw to make sure it does not fall out.

When we are finished, my nurse will connect a tube to my new I.V. This is how I get my medicine.

Maybe my nurse will cover my I.V. This is to help keep it in place.
![Page 14: IV Insertion (boy)](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020620/61e5d4144e6fb55ec27949ba/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
My nurses will be so happy that I kept still. Now I can get my medicine to help me get better.

When I am getting ready to go home, the nurse will uncover my I.V., take the tape off, and slide the tiny soft straw out. When she
is done, I can have a Band-Aid if I want, but I don’t have to.
