Positions focused on administering intravenous fluids and electrolytes to individuals, typically to address dehydration, vitamin deficiencies, or other medical needs, are becoming increasingly common. An example would be a registered nurse providing IV therapy at a mobile clinic or a wellness center that specializes in hydration treatments.
The demand for these roles is growing due to the increasing awareness of the benefits of rapid rehydration and nutrient delivery, often leading to quicker recovery times and improved overall well-being. Historically, this service was primarily confined to hospital settings, but now extends to various outpatient and mobile contexts, making it more accessible.
