An extension set would allow the patient to move around with greater ease because it increases the length of tubing between the patient and the infusion pump. This enables the patient to move around without having to carry the pump itself, as long as the pump is close to the patient. The other options, such as a multiflow adapter or stopcock, do not address the issue of mobility, and a filter device is not necessary in this situation.
