Question 1 of 5

A nurse is assessing a client who is receiving a peripheral IV infusion and notes infiltration of fluid into the tissues surrounding the insertion site. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Elevate the extremity. Elevating the extremity helps to reduce swelling and prevent further infiltration of fluid into the tissues. By raising the arm above the level of the heart, gravity helps to return the fluid back into the bloodstream. Applying pressure to the IV site (choice
A) may aggravate tissue damage. Flushing the IV catheter (choice
C) is not necessary in this situation and could exacerbate the issue. Slowing the infusion rate (choice
D) is not as effective as elevating the extremity in preventing further infiltration.
