What is the primary purpose of a transducer in an arterial line system?
To act as a heparinized flush mechanism to maintain catheter patency.
To administer medications into the arterial system.
To prevent blood from backflowing into the arterial catheter.
To convert arterial pressure into an electrical signal for monitoring.
The transducer in an arterial line system converts the pressure from the client's arterial blood flow into an electrical signal that can be displayed on a monitor. This allows healthcare providers to continuously monitor the client's blood pressure in real-time. Other answers are incorrect because they describe different components or functions associated with arterial line care, but not the purpose of the transducer.
