The practical nurse (PN) prepares to remove a client's saline lock. Which supplies should the PN gather? (Select all that apply.)

A. Three mL syringe: A syringe is typically used to flush or access a saline lock, not for removal. It is not required for the removal procedure itself. B. Paper tape: Tape may be needed to secure a gauze pad over the site after removal to maintain pressure and prevent bleeding. This is an appropriate supply to gather. C. Exam gloves: Nonsterile exam gloves protect the nurse and maintain basic hygiene while removing the saline lock. They are appropriate for this procedure. D. Sterile gloves: Sterile gloves are not necessary for removing a saline lock, as the procedure does not involve entering a sterile body cavity. Standard precautions with clean gloves are sufficient. E. Small gauze pad: A gauze pad is needed to apply pressure to the insertion site after removing the saline lock to prevent bleeding and promote hemostasis.
