CQC readiness Practices need to be prepared for Care Quality Commission (CQC) assessments and be ready to address the outcomes. Information to inform the assessments will be gathered from a variety of sources, including patients’ experience of services. Quality statements will consider evidence for safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led services to ensure providers are delivering high-quality, person-centred care. PCC has helped practices by mock assessments, mentoring staff and providing expert advice, as well as supporting improvement where necessary.

Did you catch yesterday's test question from the Neurocritical Care Board Review Question Bank? If you answered C, you were right! The correct answer is right antecubital fossa 18-gauge IV catheter placement (Answer C is correct). Based on Poiseuille’s law, rapid fluid administration is possible when the flow is laminar. Catheters with a larger bore (e.g., 16–18-gauge) and shorter length allow faster infusion rates than a 7-French triple lumen catheter. For this reason, especially in trauma resuscitation, large-bore peripheral IV catheters are favored over triple lumen catheters (Answer B and D are incorrect). In trauma, one should make note of injuries to the extremities when considering placement of an intravascular catheter. This patient has left shoulder and left arm gunshot wounds, which could damage vascular structures, so the left arm should not be used for access. A left antecubital fossa 18-gauge IV catheter would be large enough for the patient's critical needs but is located in the injured arm, therefore, it is not the best option (Answer A is incorrect) For more questions like this, check out the Board Review Question Bank: https://ow.ly/OXxm50TvIzz
