Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a patient who is receiving IV fluids. The nurse notes that the IV site is red, warm, and painful. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first? What should the nurse do first for IV site issues?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct action for the nurse to take first is to discontinue the IV line (choice
C). This is essential to prevent further complications such as infection or infiltration. Discontinuing the IV line will stop the source of the redness, warmth, and pain at the IV site. Slowing the infusion rate (choice
A) would not address the underlying issue and could potentially worsen the situation. Applying a warm compress (choice
B) could also exacerbate the symptoms if there is an infection. Notifying the provider (choice
D) is important but should come after the immediate action of discontinuing the IV line to address the IV site issues promptly.
