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: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Elevate the extremity. Elevating the extremity helps to reduce swelling and promote fluid reabsorption, preventing further infiltration. By elevating the extremity, gravity assists in draining the excess fluid back into circulation. Applying pressure (choice
A) may further damage tissues. Slowing the infusion rate (choice
B) may not be sufficient to prevent further infiltration. Flushing the IV catheter (choice
D) is not appropriate in this situation as it does not address the issue of infiltration.
