Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has an implanted venous access port. Which of the following should the nurse use to access the port?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: A non-coring needle. This type of needle is specifically designed for accessing implanted venous access ports as it minimizes the risk of coring (removal of a piece of the septum) which can lead to complications. Using an angiocatheter (choice
A) or a butterfly needle (choice
C) can increase the risk of coring, causing damage to the port. A 25-gauge needle (choice
B) is too small for accessing the port effectively. In summary, the non-coring needle is the optimal choice for accessing the port safely and effectively, while the other options pose risks of coring or inefficiency.
