A client who had a right-sided mastectomy 8 hours ago with an IV in her left arm

Question 1 of 5

A laboratory technician arrives to draw blood for a complete blood count (CBC) for a client who had a right-sided mastectomy 8 hours ago. The client has an intravenous line with fluid infusing in her left antecubital space. To obtain the blood specimen, the technician places a tourniquet on the client's right arm. Which action by the nurse would be most appropriate?

A. Call the surgeon to perform a femoral puncture. B. Assist in holding the client's arm still. C. Tell the technician to obtain the blood sample from the client's left arm. D. Suggest a finger stick be done on one of the client's left fingers. G. C

Correct Answer: Using the left arm avoids risks like lymphedema in the surgical arm. Femoral puncture is invasive, assisting with the right arm is harmful, and finger sticks are inadequate for CBC.
