PICC nurse
End Cap changes

For those that do rounds on PICC/ central lines.  Who does the routine end cap changes?  We currently change them ourselves q96h, but the floor RNs are also doing them and we feel we are changing them too often.  INS recommends with tubing changes if continuous fluids or if not then q7d.  So we are trying to not make this difficult for the floor nurses and wanted to know how others do it.  Thanks.
