Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A 10-mL syringe is the minimum size that should be used to flush a PICC line to prevent damage to the catheter.
Choice A, Clean the insertion site using 20 mL of hydrogen peroxide, is not the correct answer because hydrogen peroxide should not be used to clean the insertion site of a PICC line.
Choice B, Changing the catheter dressing daily, is not the correct answer because the catheter dressing should be changed every 3 to 7 days or as directed by a healthcare provider.
Choice D, Do not elevate the arm above the level of the heart, is not the correct answer because there is no restriction on elevating the arm above the level of the heart with a PICC line.

A. "This indicates a possible air leak.". B. "This means your lung is fully re-expanded.". C. "Your breathing pattern causes this.". D. "Suction pressure that is too high causes this.".

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

The fluctuation of fluid in the water-seal chamber of a chest tube is known as tidaling and is caused by the changes in pressure within the chest during respiration.
Choice A is not correct because tidaling does not indicate an air leak.
Choice B is not correct because tidaling does not necessarily mean that the lung is fully re-expanded.
Choice D is not correct because suction pressure does not cause tidaling.
