Getting the Most Out of Your IV Therapy Flash Cards

Purpose of Flash Cards

You’re on your way to mastering IV therapy vocabulary! Using these flash cards will develop

your ability to focus and achieve deep memory learning. They will help you not only learn

the terminology, but they will help you relate those terms to the nursing content you are

studying. It is important to make a connection between the term, its meaning, and how it

functions in the language of nursing. So I designed the flash cards to allow you to see the

word, read the word (out loud is best), use the word, and associate the word with other

related concepts.

How to Use Flash Cards

This set of flash cards is unique because it gives you opportunities to actively associate each

word or phrase with your studies. Here are some strategies I recommend to get the most out

of the time you spend with the cards. But these are not the only ways they can be used; see

if you can think of others that better suit your learning style.

1. Write the word on a separate piece of paper and recite the word out loud.

2. Work with a partner, take turns saying words out loud to each other, and recite their definitions.

Check your achievement by turning over the cards to see if you provided the

correct definitions.

3. Draw a picture of the word on a separate piece of paper if you are having trouble remembering

it. This is called concept mapping—an example is on the back of this card.

4. On the back of each card is a “notes” area that you can use to include associated

concepts from a textbook or lecture. Example:

?Notes: Phlebitis occurs frequently from mechanical or chemical irritation to the vein.

Must anchor IV securely

5. To review for a test, mix up the sections, and use these same strategies as above to test

your understanding of all the words and concepts.

Concept Mapping

Concept mapping is a thinking tool that reflects externally what is going on in your brain.

Each map is unique to the student creating the map. The steps are simple and can be

used for any nursing content.

1. Write the word on a blank piece of paper.

2. Create stems off the word using different colors, and curve the stems leading from the

central word.

Note: The brain connects better with free flowing curves rather than straight lines.

3. Write words on the stems that connect ideas to the center word. (Narrow-tip colored

marking pens work great.)

4. Write one word on each stem and make the stem the length of the word.

5. Draw smaller branches coming off each large stem, again the length of the word you

are going to write, and only one word per branch.

6. Draw pictures if you wish, adding them next to the appropriate stem. Search for images

online or create your own drawings. The brain connects to the word or term through

pictures.
