🚨 Nurses, let's talk hematoma!

📉 It’s more than just a bump. Caused by blood collection at the IV site, it leads to pain, swelling, and bruising.

🔍 Key Signs:

Ecchymosis
Redness
Painful bump
Swelling
🛑 Immediate Actions:

Don’t rub the site.
Elevate the extremity.
Apply ice, not a tourniquet.
I learned the hard way—monitoring for swelling is crucial!
