Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a prescription for a peripheral IV catheter. After puncturing the skin with the vascular access device and noting a blood return in the flashback chamber, which of the following actions should the nurse perform next?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Advance the catheter into the vein. After noting blood return in the flashback chamber, the nurse should advance the catheter into the vein to ensure proper placement and prevent infiltration. Retracting the stylet (choice
B) is incorrect as it can dislodge the catheter. Flushing the catheter with saline (choice
A) should only be done after proper placement is confirmed. Releasing the tourniquet (choice
C) is premature as the catheter still needs to be advanced. Advancing the catheter into the vein (choice
D) is the next step to secure proper placement.
