which of the following holds the highest risk for infection?
a. picc line
b. tunneled CVC
,c. IVAD
d. central line - CORRECT ANSWER -d - central line - lowest risk of infection is IVAD
t or f, a valved CVC means that there are always clamps present - CORRECT ANSWER -false
- if they are non valved, they will have clamps
- valved CVCs are either distal or proximal and open from pressure, closed at neutral
the purpose of the dacron cuff is: SATA
a. it is part of a tunneled CVC that gets inserted into the vein
b. it acts as an anchor for the catheter by granulation
c. it acts as an infection barrier from microorganisms
d. it allows for easy removal by physicians - CORRECT ANSWER -b and c
