A nurse is admitting a client who has antisocial personality disorder. Which of the following client behaviors should the nurse identify as consistent with this disorder?

A.

A. "Your PICC line will allow long-term access for antibiotic therapy." - PICC lines are often used for long-term administration of medications, including antibiotics, due to their durability and ease of use.

B. "You should use a 5-milliliter barrel syringe to flush your PICC line at home." - The size of the syringe used to flush a PICC line depends on the facility's protocol and the client's specific

needs. Specific instructions regarding syringe size should be provided by the healthcare provider or nurse.

C. "Your PICC line must be placed in your nondominant arm." - The choice of arm for PICC line placement depends on various factors, including vein integrity and the client's comfort. There is no strict requirement for the PICC line to be placed in the nondominant arm.

D. "You should immobilize the arm with the PICC line using a sling." - Immobilizing the arm with a sling is not typically necessary after PICC line placement. Clients are usually instructed to avoid excessive movement and to keep the arm clean and dry to prevent complications.

A. Taking the client to the bathroom after administering a preoperative sedative increases the risk of falls.
B. Surgical site verification should be completed before administering the preoperative medication.
C. Teaching should be done before giving the medication, as the sedative may impair learning and recall.
D. Raising the side rails helps ensure client safety by preventing falls after the medication has been administered.
