2024 PN NCLEX Questions Nursing Practice Question
Which of the following is not a nursing responsibility when preparing the client for central line insertion?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Advancing the guidewire is a technical procedure performed by the physician or trained practitioner, not nursing staff. Nursing responsibilities focus on preparation and support rather than direct procedural tasks. Explaining the procedure to the client (B) is crucial for informed consent and patient comfort. Maintaining sterile technique (C) is essential to prevent infection during the procedure. Ensuring necessary consents are signed (D) is a fundamental nursing duty to uphold legal and ethical standards. Each of these options reflects critical nursing roles, while advancing the guidewire does not.
