It is a benign condition and does not typically require treatment unless symptomatic.

Extract:

A nurse is preparing to insert an IV catheter for a client.


Question 5 of 5

Which of the following actions should the nurse plan to take?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Choose a vein that is palpable and straight. This is the best action because a palpable and straight vein is easier to access and less likely to cause complications during venipuncture. Selecting a visible vein reduces the risk of accidental puncture of surrounding structures. Elevating the arm (choice
B) can help make the vein more prominent, but it is not the primary action. Applying a tourniquet (choice
C) is important to help visualize the vein but does not ensure the vein is suitable. Selecting the dominant arm (choice
D) is not necessary and may limit the client's mobility.
