Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A peripherally placed catheter, often referred to as a peripheral IV line, is suitable for short-term use, such as administering fluids postoperatively. Clients receiving chemotherapy, TPN (total parenteral nutrition), or long-term pain management would likely require a more durable and long-term vascular access device, such as a central venous catheter or a PICC line, due to the nature of their treatments and the potential for vein irritation or the need for high-calorie nutrition that cannot be sustained through a peripheral line.
