Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

A
Aspiration of more than 1 mL of clear fluid or bloody return means that the catheter may have migrated into the subarachnoid space or into a vessel. Do not inject the drug. Notify the physician. Purulent drainage is a sign of infection, indicating that local inflammation and superficial skin infection at the insertion site have occurred.
