答案
参考答案：B
解析：Administration of pain medication through an epidural catheter is recommended if severe pain is anticipated or if the pain doesn’t respond to less invasive measures. Epidural catheters can also be used for the administration of regional anesthesia. Epidural catheters may not be used for antibiotic therapy, blood transfusion, or anticoagulation.
