Question 3 of 5
A nurse teaches a client who is being discharged home with a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC). Which statement should the nurse include in this client's teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because carrying a grandchild with the arm that has the central catheter can put excessive strain on the PICC line, leading to dislodgement or complications. It is important to protect the integrity of the line to prevent infections or other issues. Choice B is incorrect because placing the arm with the central catheter in a sling is unnecessary and could restrict blood flow or cause discomfort.
