Question: Which statement is true regarding infusion pumps used during the administration of parenteral fluid therapy? Infusion pumps do not malfunction, therefore delivery of too much fluid is not possible. Infusion pumps administer the fluid at a steady rate, so assessing the patient's intravenous (IV) site is not necessary. As long as the pump is programmed correctly and there are no malfunctions, infusion pumps allow for accuracy of delivered amounts of fluid. The nurse should document the infusion rate one time during their shift.
