Answer:

The answer is: The nurse will be in charge of disinfecting with alcohol, and putting surgical gum and / or a special tape on the patient.

Step-by-step explanation:

Vascular access procedures are mostly performed by a specially trained intervention radiologist, in an intervention radiology room or, sometimes, in the operating room.

A nurse or technologist can insert an intravenous (IV) line into a vein in the hand or arm to be able to administer sedative medication intravenously before the start, or during, the procedure as needed. The placement of a PICC does not normally require sedation.

The doctor will numb the area with a local anesthetic. This may burn or burn briefly before the area goes numb.

A small incision is made in the skin at the site.

The incisions are held together by sutures, surgical gum and / or a special tape.

The answer is: The nurse will be in charge of disinfecting with alcohol, and putting surgical gum and / or a special tape on the patient.
