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?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
The correct answer is B: Change peripheral IV primary tubing every 96 hr. This recommendation aligns with evidence-based practice guidelines, as changing peripheral IV tubing every 96 hours helps prevent infection without unnecessary waste of resources. Option A is incorrect because changing total parenteral nutrition IV tubing every 48 hours is not evidence-based and may increase the risk of infection. Option C is incorrect as replacing peripheral IV solution bags every 96 hours is not necessary unless contamination occurs. Option D is incorrect as replacing total parenteral nutrition solution bags every 48 hours is not evidence-based and may lead to unnecessary costs.
