I work at a hospital and last night I made a medication mistake. An RN asked me to show her how to do TPN. The patient had a port but I thought we can use an IV for the TPN because I thought the doctor’s note said to use to use TPN through the PIV but I didn’t read through it when the note actually said to use TPN through the patient’s port. I also didn’t use the port because medications were already given through the port. I accidentally put the TPN through the PIV and my manager called me and reported the pt’s arm was Extravasation and now swollen. My manager told the I need to use the port for the TPN and since PIV cannot handle the TPN. I also have deaccess and reaccess the port. An incident report will be filed. I felt bad because I harm the patient and let the nurse down. Can anyone give me advice through this situation and have any of you made mistakes like this before. Thank you 😢
