Abstract
An apparatus for self-administering fluids in patients, children, and persons of limited capabilities, includes a base, a first generally cylindrical, elongate support that extends upwardly from the base, a second generally cylindrical, elongate support that extends generally upwardly from the first support. The second support is pivotable relative to the first support and assumes first and second positions. The second support in the first position and the first support extend generally in a common direction. The second support in the second position extends generally perpendicular to the first support. The second support is rotatable a complete revolution about the first support.
