The nursing assistant prepares to irrigate a patient's catheter using a closed irrigation technique. Where is the clamp correctly placed introducing the irrigation fluid into the aspiration port?
- A.
Above the aspiration port
- B.
Just above the drainage bag
- C.
Below the catheter tubing connecting to the drainage bag
- D.
Just below the aspiration port
Correct Answer
D. Just below the aspiration portExplanation
The clamp is correctly placed just below the aspiration port when irrigating a patient's catheter using a closed irrigation technique. This ensures that the irrigation fluid is introduced into the aspiration port and not into the drainage bag or below the catheter tubing connecting to the drainage bag. Placing the clamp above the aspiration port would prevent the irrigation fluid from entering the catheter.Rate this question:
