Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
250 mL  50 mL/hr = 5 hr
1845 + 5 hr = 2345, which would be 2345 on Monday.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
A recommended bundle at insertion of a central line is hand hygiene prior to catheter insertion; use of maximum sterile barrier precautions upon insertion; chlorhexidine skin antisepsis prior to insertion and during dressing changes; avoidance of the femoral vein for central venous access for adults; and daily evaluation of line necessity, with prompt removal of non-essential lines. Povidone-iodine is not recommended.
