Thanks for your answers. A nurse at this hospital told me they re use the same bag and line for two days.
I know for a fact that that is against Government guidelines and I've told them that but they won't do anything about it. I too, am photographing everything just in case she get phlebitis or septicemia.
One more in a long line of battles. The problem, of course, is that the run of the mill patient/visitor doesn't know the correct policies and aren't aware that the treatment they are getting is potentially life threatening when it's done incorrectly. If they are lucky and get no complications, they talk about the wonderful care they receive but if they do get a complication, they more often than not, are not told why it happened and think it's just "one of those things".
Regards
Chirley
