interesting, swabbing cap connection x 1 min prior to removing cap, then applying new cap without swabbing catheter hub? Also no discard of blood return, just flush it back in? This is different than other videos I've seen.
You are applying a new cap, so it's sterile and don't need to reswab the hub. You are only checking for blood return, not doing a blood draw, so you do not need to discard.
