The nurse should proceed by using a firm, positive, confident approach when starting the IV to start an intravenous (iv) line in a child with severe pneumonia.

Pneumonia is an infection that inflames the air sacs in one or both lungs. The air sacs are generally filled with pus or fluids which causes cough, fever, chills and difficulty breathing.

The common causes of pneumonia are virus, bacteria and fungi. Mild pneumonia can usually be treated at home with rest, antibiotics and with plenty of fluids. Pneumonia is contagious and can spread through air-borne droplets from a cough or sneeze.

IV fluids are administered to pneumonia patients in order to rehydrate them. Good hydration makes it easier for patients to expectorate secretions.
