What can a medical assistant do in IV therapy?

A medical assistant can assist in IV therapy by preparing the patient and the environment, ensuring all necessary supplies are available, and maintaining a sterile field. They may also help in the insertion of IV catheters, monitor the patient for any adverse reactions, and provide post-procedure care and education. However, the specific duties can vary depending on state regulations and the medical facility's policies. It’s essential for medical assistants to operate under the supervision of a licensed healthcare provider.
