7.0 Summary of Key Clinical Practice Mandates

This briefing’s ultimate goal is to embed safe, effective, and evidence-based practice in the administration of IV Vitamin Therapy. The complex interplay of patient assessment, formulation, and sterile technique demands unwavering professional diligence. To ensure patient safety and positive outcomes, all clinical staff must adhere to the following critical mandates.

• Physician-led evaluation is mandatory. No IV Vitamin Therapy shall be administered without a thorough medical assessment and a direct order from a qualified physician who has deemed the treatment appropriate and safe for the specific patient.
• Strict adherence to aseptic technique is non-negotiable. The risk of bloodstream infection is significant and can only be mitigated by the consistent use of sterile equipment and hygienic practices during preparation and administration.
• Thorough screening for contraindications must be performed. All patients must be screened for chronic conditions—especially kidney, liver, and heart disease—as well as pregnancy and potential medication interactions, before the therapy is approved.
• Vigilant patient monitoring during infusion is essential. Continuous observation by a qualified health professional is required to ensure the immediate identification and management of adverse reactions, particularly anaphylaxis.
