Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To prevent infection in a patient with a subdural intracranial pressure monitoring system in place, the nurse should use aseptic technique for the insertion site. Aseptic technique involves maintaining a sterile field to prevent the introduction of microorganisms that could lead to infection. Using aseptic technique specifically for the insertion site helps reduce the risk of introducing pathogens into the patient's intracranial system, reducing the chances of infection. Additionally, maintaining a strict aseptic technique is crucial for preventing complications and ensuring patient safety when managing intracranial pressure monitoring systems.
Question 2 of 5
An adult has a central venous line. Which of the following should the nurse include in the plan of care?

Central venous lines carry a risk of complications such as infection, air embolism, and mechanical issues like leakage or puncture. These complications can be serious and require immediate attention to prevent further harm to the patient. Regular monitoring and assessment for these potential issues are crucial in providing safe care for a patient with a central venous line.
