Nurses often make mistakes in administering intravenous fluids. This can be minimized with supervision, but there is a fact that supervision has not been optimized and this activity limited only on one way control. The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of supervision by head nurse on intravenous therapy administration. The method used was quantitative and qualitative methods. Samples in a quantitative approach were 66 respondents, while the number of participants in Focus Group Discussion was 6 head of wards.

The results obtained indicated that the three sub variables affected the administration of intravenous fluids. The results of FGD identified several themes, namely the understanding of head nurses about supervision, maintaining performance, improving knowledge and skills, providing support and encouragement, and supervision that was less standardized. It is recommended that head nurses need to improve supervision activities on an ongoing basis, to make a standardized plan about supervision.
