How to fill out module 2 intravenous insertion:

1. Gather all the necessary equipment and supplies, including a sterile IV catheter, IV tubing, alcohol swabs, tape, and a tourniquet.
2. Begin by introducing yourself to the patient and explaining the procedure to them to ensure their comfort and cooperation.
3. Wash your hands thoroughly and put on sterile gloves to prevent the risk of infection.

7. Remove the protective cover from the IV catheter and hold it like a pencil, keeping the bevel facing upward.
8. Hold the patient's skin taut with one hand and use the other hand to insert the catheter at a 10-30 degree angle to the patient's skin.

10. Quickly secure the catheter in place by stabilizing it with your non-dominant hand and using tape or a securement device.
