who had a PICC in place < 6 mo ago, If they told him not to shower then
he shouldn't shower! The chance of developing a serious secondary infection
requiring additional months of IV therapy is a ridiculous chance to take!
Sponge baths, period, 'til that PICC line is out!
Keeping that PICC site DRY and patent should be your primary concern.
Not to borrow trouble, but the Doc might also specify that
he needs multiple infusions A DAY...
my AB order was every 8hrs daily for 45 days.
No visiting nurse could do that. My wife (another nurse)...was allowed to do my
IV push at home, or I would have had to stay in hospital.
Hope everything goes well for you both.
