Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Insertion of an indwelling central venous catheter is often appropriate for patients who have poor peripheral venous access, who require many doses of chemotherapy, or who require continuous infusions. Overall, a CVC is preferable to peripheral access. IM administration is uncommon.
