Question

multiple choice question
central line-associated bloodstream infections are associated with:

○ superficial veins.

○ superficial arteries.

○ deep arteries.

○ deep veins.

Explanation:

Central line - associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) occur when a central line (a catheter placed in a deep vein, usually near the heart) becomes infected. Central lines are inserted into deep veins (like the internal jugular, subclavian, or femoral veins), not superficial veins/arteries or deep arteries. So the correct association is with deep veins.

Answer:

D. deep veins
