IV is short for intravenous, and when administering IV fluids, it is important to know how they work and what you'll want to monitor for in your patients.

Nurses administer IV fluids per the healthcare provider orders to help treat fluid volume deficits via dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, and other conditions.

The body is made up of two main compartment spaces: the intracellular space, and extracellular compartments. The intracellular compartment is found within the cell.

The extracellular compartment is found without the cell, and is made up of the interstitial compartment, intravascular compartment (plasma), and the transcellular compartment.

Fluid can be moved into or out of each compartment via a process known as osmosis.
