I didn't realize that I couldn't use the same normal saline flush for both of them. I don't know if the order is for 5 or 10 milliliters. I didn't verify the placement before I flushed it. I did not verify, and I should have done that. I should have taken more time cleaning the connectors. During an interview on 1/25/2024 at 1:30 PM the Director of Nursing stated, I expect staff to complete hand hygiene and flush PICCs according to doctor orders. She should have verified placement of the PICC line before giving the saline. She should not have used the same syringe for both sides. The orders are for 10 ml (milliliter) flushes.
