Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

D
Inspect the catheter for intactness after removal, noting tip integrity and length. Place clean sterile gauze above the site, and withdraw the catheter, using a slow, steady motion. Keep the hub parallel to the skin. Do not raise or lift the catheter before it is completely out of the vein, to avoid trauma or hematoma formation. Apply pressure to the site for 2 to 3 minutes, using a dry, sterile gauze pad. Secure with tape. Note: Apply pressure for 5 to 10 minutes if the patient is taking anticoagulants.
