True or False: Under a category one certification, you can administer IV injections.

The statement is false because under a Category 1 certification in Ohio, individuals are not authorized to administer IV injections. This certification typically allows for basic medication administration methods, such as oral or topical medications, but does not extend to more complex procedures like intravenous therapy, which requires additional training and certification.

This limitation is in place to ensure that only adequately trained and qualified personnel perform procedures that involve more significant risks and complications, such as IV injections. Administering IV medication involves understanding fluid management, recognizing complications associated with intravenous access, and ensuring proper aseptic techniques, which go beyond the scope of a Category 1 certification.

Recognizing the scope of practice for different certifications is crucial in maintaining safety and effectiveness in medication administration.
