Practice Question
A nurse is teaching a client who is to undergo placement of a no tunneled percutaneous central venous access device. Which of the following statements should the nurse include in the teaching?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
"The provider will wear a mask while performing the procedure."
Rationale:
🔷 During the insertion of a non-tunneled percutaneous central venous access device (CVC), the provider must wear a sterile mask to prevent contamination of the insertion site.
🔷 The sterile field should be maintained to reduce the risk of infection during the procedure.
🔷 A CT scan is typically not used for initial placement confirmation; X-ray is more commonly used.
🔷 The patient is usually awake but sedated for the procedure, and their head may be positioned according to the provider's preference for optimal access.
🔷 The procedure does not require general anesthesia, but local anesthesia is often used for comfort.
