|
1 vein
2 arteries: remember arteries has the letter t for two! |
|
|
True or False: After adiminstering epi, and flushing the umbilical catheter inserter emergently, you may advance the catheter to the T3 location.
|
False: Do not advance the catheter once the sterile field has been contaminated.
