MODULE 09: CARING FOR CENTRAL VASCULAR ACCESS DEVICES (CVAD) QUESTIONS & ANSWERS WITH RATIONALES 100% VERIFIED SOLUTION 2025 A+ 1. Identify the uses of a central vascular access device. (Select all that apply.) A. Providing enteral nutrition. B. Obtaining blood samples. C. Infusing blood products. D. Administering chemotherapy. E. Providing parenteral nutrition. F. Reducing the patient's clotting time with repeated heparinization of catheter. G. Infusing medications. H. Administering intravneous (IV) fluids. - ANS-B C D E G H Vascular access devices are used to administer IV fluids, chemotherapy, and parenteral nutrition; to infuse medications and blood products; and to obtain blood samples. Enteral nutrition refers to using the gastrointestinal (GI) tract as a pathway for supplemental nutrients, rather than an application of a vascular access device. Although repeated heparinization may reduce the patient's clotting time, this is an unacceptable reason for inserting a vascular access device. What is the primary advantage of a central vascular access device over the use of a peripheral IV? A. Sepsis is less likely to develop. B. It is unaffected by movement. C. Sterile technique is unnecessary. D. It can remain in place longer. E. There is an increased likelihood of extravasation. - ANS-D Correct A CVAD can remain in place for a longer period; therefore the patient is able to receive long-term therapy with repeated access to the venous system without frequent venipuncture. Identify possible complications of a PICC. (Select all that apply.) CONTINUE...
