Correct Answer: B

Rationale: A femoral venous catheter, inserted into a large vein, poses a high infection risk if not handled properly. Maintaining sterile technique during care prevents introducing pathogens, which could lead to bloodstream infections, a serious complication. Irrigating with saline isn't standard unless ordered, as it risks dislodging clots or causing fluid overload. Assessing dressings for bleeding is important but secondary to infection prevention, as sterile technique addresses the root cause of complications. Limiting mobility reduces dislodgement risk but isn't the primary focus compared to infection control. Sterile technique aligns with evidence-based practice to ensure patient safety and catheter functionality.
