Abstract

The purpose of this study was to assess the quality of the intravenous drug management provided by nursing professionals. We used a specific instrument to measure the efficiency of this process. These estimates will hopefully allow us determine the impact of related factors and thus identify problems and establish improvement strategies. This was a basic descriptive; cross-sectional and correlational study. The sample was formed out of 114 patients hospitalized in the internal medicine; cardiology; neurology; and gastroentherology units of a high specialty Pediatric Hospital. The results suggest that it is possible to estimate a related index of efficiency close to 85%. We considered these findings as statistically significant.
