Question 1 of 5
A nurse is initiating IV therapy for a client who had a right-sided mastectomy. In which of the following locations should the nurse place a catheter?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Left arm. Placing the catheter in the left arm is appropriate for a client with a right-sided mastectomy to avoid potential complications and lymphedema in the affected side. The left arm allows for easier access and monitoring without disrupting the surgical site or causing discomfort. Placing the catheter in the most proximal site (
A) may increase the risk of infection. Placing it in the wrist (
C) may impede movement and cause discomfort. Cordlike veins (D and E) are not suitable for IV placement as they may be fragile and prone to leakage.
