physiological integrity:
Pharmacological and parenteral
therapies. The sub categories
include central venous access
devices, medication administration
safety, and includes monitoring for
allergic/adverse reaction. Safety
and infection control is a
consideration for this question as
inclusion of the alcohol to clean the
PICC tip should be included.

This hot spot picture fits within
NCLEX safe and effective care
environment with sub-category of
safety and infection control. This
picture identification encourages
complete the task based on
knowledge of infection control
principles. This question would fit
within application as the student will
solve the inappropriate infection
control principle within the picture
(Huitt, 2011).
This question fits within NCLEX
section of psychosocial integrity
under abuse/neglect subcategories.
This question encourages the
student to contrast the correct
answers with the priority answer.
When the student compares the
answers to determine the priority,
this question fits within analysis of
Blooms taxonomy (Huitt, 2011).
This question fits within the
NCLEX category of health
promotion and maintenance. The
sub-category included health
promotion and disease prevention.
The level of Blooms taxonomy
includes application of knowledge
of vaccination in health promotion.
The student must solve which
purpose the nurse is fulfilling with
this education session.
This question fits within NCLEX
category of safe and effective care
environment. Subcategories include
assignment, delegation, and ethical
practice. This question promotes
application within Blooms
taxonomy with incorporation of

would be included as a safe patient practice.
The student must determine the appropriate
dose in this question as two doses are provided
within the drag and drop. Officer (2014)
identifies that maintaining patency of PICC
lines includes saline to assess catheter patency,
administration of medication, saline to flush
medication out of catheter, and heparin lock to
maintain patency between medications
(SASH). Always use a 10 cc syringe or large
barrel syringe for flushing as has a lower
pressure rating as a smaller has greater
pressures and may rupture the catheter
(Officer, 2014, p. 6). Iodine swabs and the
500mg dose are incorrect answers. The iodine
wipes do not have evidence to support the use
to cleanse PICC hubs therefore this is an
incorrect answer. The 500mg Cefazolin is not
the ordered dose and therefore an incorrect
answer.
This hot spot question encourages the student
to critically think about what infection control
principles are not followed. The National
Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI)
(2010) identifies that the best practice in
phlebotomy requires that gloves are worn on
both hands. Encourages student to reflect on
knowledge of best practices. Another
identified concern within this picture is the lack
of the phlebotomist securing the needle hub
however, the priority is the second hand not
having a glove present.
This level of analysis for Blooms taxonomy
discuss planning for this client with the priority
intervention. In this question d could be easily
eliminated as the social worker could complete
a referral for the abuser, but would not be a
nursing priority. Notification of the social
worker is a correct answer but not the initial
priority. Adhering to the mandatory abuse
