1. A computer-implemented method for providing educational guidance for peripheral IV therapy, the method comprising:
displaying, on a display of a machine, a main menu including a plurality of person profiles;
prompting, by the machine, the user to select a person profile of the plurality of person profiles, wherein the selected person profile identifies a person;
prompting, by the machine, the user to select an insertion site from a plurality of insertion sites on the person's appendage, based at least in part on the selected person profile;
prompting, by the machine, the user to select one or more appropriate products for properly inserting an IV catheter in the person's appendage at the selected insertion site, based at least in part on the selected person profile;
presenting, by the machine, to the user, a line access process menu including a plurality of line access process steps associated with the one or more appropriate products;
prompting, by the machine, the user to place the plurality of line access process steps in a most appropriate sequential order within a plurality of line access process step locations displayed on the display;
once the user places the plurality of line access process steps in the most appropriate sequential order, instructing, by the machine, the user to position a sticker at the selected insertion site;
in response to one or more selections of the one or more appropriate products or one or more placements of the plurality of line access process steps in the most appropriate sequential order being incorrect:
displaying, by the machine, a selection review screen indicating that at least one of the user's selections or placements is considered a sub-optimal selection or placement and displaying an information icon providing access to more information on why the at least one user's selection or placement is considered the sub-optimal selection or placement;
rendering, by a processing device of the machine, a first graphical image of the selected insertion site;
displaying, on the display, the first graphical image indicating placement of the sticker at the selected insertion site;
displaying, on the display, one or more complications associated with the selected insertion site;
prompting the user to select a complication of the one or more complications for further information regarding the selected complication;
rendering, by the processing device of the machine, a second graphical image of the person's arm indicating the selected complication; and
displaying on the display, the second graphical image,
wherein the second graphical image is rendered with at least one data item corresponding to the selected insertion site, and wherein the at least one data item includes a time-lapse image of the selected complication arising and progressing as an actuator of the machine is manipulated by the user.
