Implication

Cross-sectional analysis reveals low performance in intravenous fluid therapy among nurses in Kisumu County, indicating a need for better documentation practices and training.

Key Points

Overall, 59.1% of nurses demonstrated unsatisfactory performance in intravenous fluid therapy, highlighting significant gaps in practice.
While 67% of nurses reported high knowledge levels, critical documentation tasks were poorly performed, with 98.2% failing to label the infusion bag.
Using a cross-sectional analytical design, data were gathered from 110 nurses in medical-surgical units within hospitals in Kisumu County.
The findings suggest that work experience is significantly associated with nursing performance, emphasizing the need for ongoing education.
