A nurse is serving on a committee whose task is to plan cost-effective care at the facility. Which of the following client care tasks should the nurse recommend?

The correct answer is A: Change peripheral IV primary tubing every 96 hr. This recommendation aligns with evidence-based practice guidelines to prevent infections associated with IV therapy. Changing tubing every 96 hours reduces the risk of contamination and infection compared to more frequent changes. Choice B is incorrect because changing IV solution bags every 96 hours may not be necessary if the bag remains intact and is not contaminated. Choice C is incorrect because changing total parenteral nutrition solution bags every 48 hours may lead to unnecessary waste and increased costs without clear benefits. Choice D is incorrect because changing total parenteral nutrition IV tubing every 48 hours may not be supported by evidence-based practice and could increase the risk of infection due to unnecessary manipulation of the system.
