Usually patients lie in beds with the IV unit positioned next to the bed. Of course, the beds are in the rooms. That creates a suicide risk. Therefore, on psych units, a patient needs to sit in a chair, for hours, right next to the nursing station, in full view of the nurses, to remove the suicide risk. And the IV unit is next to the chair. It is a very tiring experience.
