Use an aseptic technique when changing the dressing.
Cleanse the site with povidone-iodine.
Flush the catheter using a 10-mL syringe.
Change the dressing every 24 hours.
The aseptic technique is important to prevent infection when changing the dressing of a central venous access device.
Choice B is not correct because povidone-iodine is not always the recommended cleansing agent for central venous access devices.
Choice C is not correct because a 10-mL syringe may generate too much pressure and damage the catheter.
Choice D is not correct because the dressing does not always need to be changed every 24 hours; the frequency of dressing changes depends on the type of dressing and the condition of the site.
