The nurse is preparing to remove an intrajugular central venous catheter. It would be appropriate to place the client in which position for this procedure?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
Trendelenburg position (head down) reduces the risk of air embolism during intrajugular catheter removal by increasing venous pressure. Other positions do not minimize this risk effectively.
