Antibiotic
Education and fostering independence are two of Advanced Home Care’s core values. That’s why patients who receive intravenous (IV) antibiotics at home are taught to be active participants rather than merely recipients of treatment.
Although the first antibiotic treatment is administered by a member of our nursing staff, patients are taught how to start an IV line, flush the line and clean the needle site so that they can continue treatment on their own. A pharmacist contacts patients each week to check on their progress and make sure there are no issues with the medication or supplies before sending out another week’s dose. This process continues for as long as the patient is on antibiotic therapy.
