Answer to Question 1

A
A tunneled catheter is inserted through the subcutaneous tissue, usually between the nipple and clavicle, with the catheter tip inserted through the cephalic or external jugular vein and threaded to the right atrium. A central venous catheter is an example of a non-tunneled catheter and is usually inserted into the internal jugular and subclavian veins with the distal tip located in the superior vena cava. A peripherally inserted central catheter is usually inserted into one of the major veins in the antecubital fossa. An implantable port is a device made of a radiopaque silicone material and is inserted into a subcutaneous pocket usually over the third or fourth rib, lateral to the sternum.
