Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Pictorial flashcard	Teaching subjects regarding self-care of PIVC with Pictorial Flashcard.	In the experimental group researcher explained self-care of PIVC using pictorial flashcard on one to one basis. Patients were explained Do's and Don'ts, they have to keep in mind during self-care. Doubts of the patients were also addressed simultaneously. After this a copy of pictorial flashcard was given to the subjects to be used in future (during PIVC in-situ). Time was noted and kept for observation till 72 hours or removal in between.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Adverse events (complications related to PIVC) in both groups.	72 hours	Adverse events or complications related to PIVC refers to complications, such as Phlebitis, Infiltration, Pain,Blockage and Dislodgement which occurs on PIVC site during the indwelling time of PIVC i.e. within or till 72 hours.
Effectiveness of Pictorial Flashcard on Indwelling time of Peripheral Intravenous Cannula (PIVC) among inpatients.	72 hours	Effectiveness refers to the significant increase in indwelling time of PIVC and reduction in PIVC related complication after using pictorial flash card on self-care of PIVC which calculated in hours i.e. 72 hours.; Indwelling time refers to the time duration i.e. 72 hours between insertion and removal of PIVC.
