Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When administering calcium intravenously, it is important to assess the IV site for signs of infiltration and phlebitis. While monitoring for peripheral edema, serum glucose levels, and serum potassium levels may also be important assessments in monitoring the client's overall condition, they are not directly related to administering calcium intravenously.
