B) Central venous catheters (CVCs) are not rotated like peripheral IV catheters. They are placed in a large vein with the intention of remaining in place for the duration of therapy, which can be weeks to months, without the need for rotation to prevent infection. Proper care and maintenance, including dressing changes and line flushes, are critical to prevent infection.D) Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) is typically administered using an infusion pump rather than by gravity. The use of an infusion pump allows for precise control of the infusion rate, which is crucial for the safe administration of TPN, as it needs to be delivered at a consistent and controlled rate to prevent complications.
