From the Paper:

"Thrombophlebitis encompasses a wide variety of concerns for the nursing community. It is necessary that patients that are treated for this condition or other similar ailments must be provided with the best possible treatment offerings in order to promote full recovery. It is expected that nurses must be fully trained in recognizing the symptoms of thrombophlebitis, as well as the treatment options that they possess in offering relief for this condition. For many patients, there are often many mental concerns placed upon the nature of this condition, as it is acquired due to limited mobility during hospitalization, which dramatically increases the risk of mortality (Hayes, Lehman, & Castonguay, 2002). The following discussion will identify the implications of nursing practice on the incidence of thrombophlebitis, emphasizing the importance of proper treatment and timely attention to this condition to reduce the incidence of mortality and mental anguish."
