its to do with osmotic pressure and osmolality of the iv contrast, usually when a hypertonic solution is injected it pushes the ECF (extra cellular fluid) into blood plasma, this is because the solution has a greater osmotic pressure and osmolality than normal fluid.

Is it normal for iv fluids to cause severe bruising and swelling?
No, unless they're running too much heparin..... which would be a problem and hence abnormal. Generally, IV fluids will only cause this if they are not truly IV... meaning that for what ever reason the fluid is NOT going into the vein but is going to the tissues surrounding the vein. As an RN, it would be time for a new IV site if this were to happen.

What are the responsibilities of the nurse for a computerized tomography?
In some institutions registered nurses in radiology are responsible for assessing patients who will receive oral or IV contrast for a CT exam. They will review your allergies and medications and make sure your kidneys are functions properly since IV contrast is eliminated from your body through your kidneys. They may be the ones to place your IV and inject the contrast. Normally the IV contrast used for a CT scan is injected very rapidly. A power injector is used for adult patients. Nurses may also give rectal contrast or fill your bladder with a diluted contrast solution for specialized exams that image your bladder.
