A Client Is Scheduled for Surgical Insertion of a Midline

A client is scheduled for surgical insertion of a midline catheter. A nurse explains to the client that a midline catheter is any peripheral catheter that is placed:

A) with the tip in any location between the antecubital fossa and the subclavian vein.
B) between the antecubital fossa and 3 to 5 cm distal to the axillary vein.
C) between the antecubital fossa and 6 to 8 cm proximal to one of the innominate veins.
D) between the antecubital fossa and the head of the clavicle, with optimal tip location level with the axilla.
