Why should blood not be drawn routinely from above an iv infusion site?
When asking why blood is drawn 'below' an IV site, it is presumed that this means distal (or further from the heart) when compared to the IV. The reason for drawing blood distal to the site of IV insertion is simple. When venous blood returns to the heart, administration of medications, electrolytes, and fluids is often through the IV. Therefore, we want to obtain blood which has not yet been affected by the medication or fluids given to the patient through the IV. For example, if a patient's blood magnesium levels are low, and we are giving therapeutic magnesium to increase these levels, we would want to monitor the effect of our treatment. Therefore, we would want to see the effect of magnesium infusion at a site without interference by the magnesium being infused through the IV. Therefore, we measure distal to the site of the IV, so that our blood sample represents the body's general levels magnesium, without influence from the IV line.

Is it dangerous for the doctors to misplace an IV unit?
If you mean the IV machine, it would be a bit hard to misplace it. If you mean an IV that requires a cut down or surgical placement, of course the IV canula must be in the proper position in the vein. Otherwise, anything inserted into the line would enter the tissues not the blood vessel.
What is IV hydration?
It is the introduction of water directly into the blood stream using an IV.
Why would you need an IV?
The number one reason that I would think of, is due to dehydration. Then again it my depend on why you need the IV in the first place. IV stands for intra venous, which means into the vein. IV's are routinely started on most ER patients for the following reasons; to obtain blood for laboratory test, to administer medications needed quickly in the body , or to replace vascular volume due to hypotension (low blood pressure).
What IV fluids can be infused with blood?
The only IV fluid that can be administered simultaneously w/ blood is Normal Saline Solution 0.9%.

You can draw blood above an iv if the fluids running have been stopped and you have waited at least ten minutes before drawing the blood after the fluids were stopped.
