FCCA 274C Module 3 Quiz

Question 1 The student nurse asks the RN “Why is the patient’s peripherally inserted central line (PICC) being removed? The patient will now have to be stuck for blood samples.” What is the most appropriate response by the RN? “Policy states the line needs to be removed prior to discharge.” “We can suggest that the line not be removed until tomorrow.” “The line should be removed because it interferes with activities of daily living.” “Removal of the line will decrease the patient’s risk of infection.” Question 2 The RN entered the patient’s room to administer the scheduled medications. The patient says “This does not look like the pill I take at home.” Which action does the RN initially take? Consult with the clinical pharmacist. Tell the patient that it is what the doctor ordered. Delay administration and recheck the medication order. Recheck the patient’s identification wristband.
