Yes, IV is for intravenous, but used as a noun. See this: In more recent years, the word "intravenous" has taken on a second role: as a noun. Thus, "an intravenous" refers to an intravenous fluid drip, a solution (usually a balanced electrolyte solution) administered directly into the venous circulation.
