What happened to wiping with the q-tip from the insertion site outward only, so as not to introduce bacteria from the 2" area you wiped around the insertion site? You wipe the whole area and then again right at the insertion sight and under the cath. Oy!
I have always been taught.You should not go back to the point of insertion. Clean starting at point of insertion and work your way out. Do not go back. Clean to dirty.
Well explained
