Answer to Question 1

C
A PICC line is a type of central venous device that can be introduced into a peripheral vein for administration of IV antibiotics for an extended period, over the course of several weeks. A continuous infusion would not take place if the patient received antibiotics only 3 times daily. A peripheral catheter would not be necessary or heparin locked. An implanted port catheter is intended for long-term use of venous access over months, or even years.

Answer to Question 2

D
