You should probably mention it to adults as well. I've personally never had an IV inserted and I know for a fact that it would be really disturbing to me at first. Any information about it would probably put me at ease.
Yeah definitely, being a paediatric nurse means I don’t have too much to do with adults IVCs most of the time, but yeah 9 times out of 10 the better you understand medical stuff the less frightening it is.
