Answer to Question 1

B
B. Assess catheter connections. They should be firmly attached. If connections become detached, do NOT reattach because infection could occur. Notify physician.
A. Read label on device. It provides information regarding type of anesthetic, concentration, volume, flow rate, date and time prepared, and name of person who prepared it.
C. Dressing should be dry and intact. If not, stop infusion and notify physician. Catheter may not be properly placed.
