IV therapy has been quite popular in the healthcare industry. It is sometimes referred to as infusion therapy, which allows liquified drugs to be administered directly into the veins.

Why does it have to be IV therapy? Some patients with particular health conditions are unable to swallow oral drugs. IV therapy helps them receive the prescribed dose so that they can feel or get better.

IV therapy is usually conducted in the hospital for patients who need treatment for certain conditions, including dehydration and malnutrition. There are also cases when it is done in a home setting.

For a patient under home hospice, a private nurse from nursing care administers IV therapy to help the patient with pain management, hydration, and nutrition. It enables them to stay as comfortable as possible during their remaining time.
