Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client who is scheduled for placement of a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) line. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Your PICC line will allow long-term access for antibiotic therapy. This information is crucial for the client to understand the purpose of the PICC line. A PICC line is inserted for long-term intravenous access, especially for administration of antibiotics which can be delivered over an extended period. This choice is correct as it directly addresses the main purpose of a PICC line.
Choice B is incorrect because a 10-milliliter barrel syringe is typically recommended for flushing a PICC line to prevent damaging the line.
Choice C is incorrect because the PICC line can be placed in either arm based on individual factors, not necessarily the nondominant arm.
Choice D is incorrect as immobilizing the arm with a sling is unnecessary and may restrict movement.
