Assessing a patient's infusion site daily is critical for ensuring patient safety and preventing complications. Frequent evaluation allows healthcare providers to monitor for signs of infiltration, phlebitis, infection, or other adverse reactions that may occur at the site of an intravenous (IV) line. By conducting daily assessments, healthcare professionals can catch any issues early and take necessary actions, such as replacing the catheter or treating any infections, thereby reducing the risk of further complications and enhancing patient care. Regular checks help maintain the integrity of the infusion therapy and ensure that the patient is not experiencing discomfort or harm related to the infusion site.
