Practice Question

A nurse is caring for a client who has been admitted for a routine observation.

Answer Choices:

Rationale:

💎 Hand hygiene is a foundational infection-control step that prevents contamination before medication preparation.

💎 Using two identifiers (name, DOB) prevents medication administration errors, a core patient-safety practice.

💎 These actions match the “rights of medication administration,” especially the rights of patient, dose, and safety.

💎 They ensure safe preparation steps BEFORE the medication reaches the client.

💎 Monitoring effects after administration is important—but it is NOT a preparation-phase task.

Assess for effects 1 hour after medication administration

💎 This is a “post-administration evaluation,” not a preparation action.

💎 Does not contribute to safe preparation.

A nurse is caring for a client who requires long-term central venous access for total parenteral nutrition due to gastrointestinal dysfunction. When comparing tunneled and non tunneled central venous access devices (CVADs), which characteristic best distinguishes the tunneled CVAD from the no tunneled CVAD in terms of insertion and maintenance?

Answer Choices:

A. Nontunneled CVADS require surgical insertion and are intended for long-term use, while tunneled CVADS can be inserted quickly at the bedside for emergency short-term access.
B. Tunneled CVADs do not require sterile dressing changes, but nontunneled CVADs require sterile dressings and frequent site assessment due to higher infection FISK
C. Nontunneled CVADs are always implanted under the chest wall skin and can remain in place for months, whereas tunneled CVADs are used only for a brief access and are inserted peripherally.
D. Tunneled CVADS are surgically implanted under the skin and have a cuff to secure the catheter, reducing infection risk, whereas nontunneled CVADs are percutaneously inserted at the bedside without a cuff and are intended for short-term use.
