Ive got the practical section of my NREMT-I/99 coming up this Friday and im having a bit of a brain fart when it comes to the IV station.
During my internships i have always had access to Tegaderm to keep the site sterile, i have not started an IV without Tegaderm in quite some time.
My question is, should i just cover the site with sterile gauze and secure it with tape? Im assuming that i cant just leave it exposed.
