Femoral Vein Catheterization Question

Which central venous site is generally preferred to minimize the risk of catheter malposition during cannulation?

• Left subclavian vein

• Right internal jugular vein

• Left femoral vein

• Right external jugular vein

What is a contraindication for central venous catheter (CVC) insertion?

• Multiple infusions required

• Hemodynamic monitoring

• Active skin infection at the insertion site

• Need for extracorporeal therapies

Which of the following statements about femoral vein catheterization is true?

• It is the least preferred site for patients with coagulopathy

• It has a higher rate of venous thrombosis compared to the internal jugular site

• Right-sided access is associated with a higher risk of complications

• It is preferred to reduce the risk of catheter-related infections

What is an advantage of using ultrasound guidance for central venous access?

• Lower cost of equipment

• Increased time required for the procedure

• Higher complication rates

• Shorter time for successful cannulation

Which of the following is recommended to prevent catheter-related infections?

• Using povidone-iodine for skin antisepsis

• Routine catheter exchanges over a guidewire

• Removing the CVC as soon as it is no longer needed

• Using a multi-lumen catheter for all cases

For radial artery catheterization, which hand should be used to palpate the artery?

• Dominant hand

• Nondominant hand

• Either hand can be used

• Neither hand, only ultrasound guidance should be used

Which arterial waveform feature is indicative of aortic stenosis?

• Pulsus alternans

• Pulsus paradoxus

• Pulsus bisferiens

• Pulsus parvus et tardus

What is the preferred CVC insertion site for patients with a high risk of bleeding?

• Femoral vein

• Left subclavian vein

• Right internal jugular vein

• Axillary vein

What is a key consideration during the post-procedural care of a central venous catheter?

• Leaving the catheter in place indefinitely

• Replacing the dressing every 10 days

• Monitoring for signs of infection and thrombosis

• Never flushing the catheter

In Swan-Ganz catheter insertion, why is the right internal jugular vein commonly used?

• It provides a more direct path to the superior vena cava

• It has the highest risk of catheter malposition

• It is the most difficult vein to cannulate

• It has the lowest diastolic pressure
