I have a quick question about a patient who is refusing to have her picc line removed. It was inserted at another facility, pt is being discharged w/ order to remove PICC. Pt has a history of manipulating picc which possibly resulted in sepsis, and self-abuse. Where do I stand on removing the PICC?
Any help is welcome!
Sincerely,]
