Extract:
A nurse is caring for a client who has an implanted venous access port.
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following should the nurse use to access the port?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: A noncoring needle. The nurse should use a noncoring needle to access the port because it is specifically designed for this purpose. Noncoring needles have a special tip that minimizes damage to the port septum, reducing the risk of complications such as infection or port damage. An angiocatheter (
A) is not ideal for accessing a port as it is designed for venipuncture, not for accessing ports. A 25-gauge needle (
B) may be too small and may not provide adequate flow. A butterfly needle (
C) is not recommended for accessing ports due to its design and potential for septum damage.
