We had an "On the Spot" quiz at work yesterday. Something new the nurse manager has created. She brings out quizzes a couple of times a month ....and we fill in the blanks...on the spot.
Central Line questions:
Which lumen for infusing blood?
" " " " tpn/lipids?
" " " iv solutions.....d5/ns ?
' " " withdrawing blood for blood draws?
And what to use for flushing the ports? how much? do you use ns or heparinized solution.....
She was referring to a sub-clavian, triple lumen,central line i.v.
