Answer:
2. "I need to restrict my activity while this catheter is in place."
Explanation:
A peripherally inserted central catheter is a radiopaque, single or double lumen silicone catheter centrally located through the puncture of a peripheral vessel, with medium to long term permanence. The placement of this catheter is a simple procedure, with aseptic technique, can be performed on the patient's bed, properly monitored, and is a procedure exclusively of the duly qualified nurse. Recovery from the procedure is also simple and easy and the patient can continue with his normal daily activities. For this reason, a patient who says "I need to restrict my activity while this catheter is in place" demonstrates that he needs more knowledge about the catheter.
