Accessing an internally implanted venous access device


Problem: The charge nurse quickly calls the intensive care unit (ICU) to ask if there is a resource nurse on the unit that is trained in accessing an internally implanted venous access device. An ICU nurse arrives with a special kit for accessing an internally implanted venous access device. The charge nurse observes this procedure. Which actions should the charge nurse expect to observe when watching the ICU nurse access the implanted catheter? (Select all that apply. One, some, or all options may be correct.) Establishes a sterile field around the access port. Wears a gown, mask, and sterile gloves. Places a mask on the client over client's nasal cannula. Adjusts the bed after establishing the sterile field. Washes hands using a surgical hand scrub procedure. Sets up sterile field on a bedside table behind the nurse.
