Final Answer :
A,C
Explanation :
A is appropriate because the nurse should maintain sterile technique during the procedure to prevent infection. C is appropriate because informed consent is necessary for any invasive procedure. B is not appropriate because the insertion site should be scrubbed with chlorhexidine for at least 30 seconds, not antibacterial soap for 1 minute. D is not appropriate because the patient should be in Trendelenburg position during CVC placement, not low Fowler's. E is not appropriate because the infusion solution used will depend on the patient's specific needs and should be determined by the provider.
