ATI RN Pharmacology 2019 Exam 6 Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is initiating IV therapy for client who had a right-sided mastectomy. In which of the following locations should the nurse place a catheter?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Left arm. Placing the catheter in the left arm of a client who has had a right-sided mastectomy is preferred to minimize the risk of lymphedema development on the affected side. Lymphedema is a common complication after mastectomy and can be exacerbated by trauma or inflammation, such as from IV therapy. Placing the catheter in the left arm helps protect the compromised lymphatic system on the right side.

The other choices are incorrect because:
A: Wrist - Placing the catheter in the wrist can increase the risk of phlebitis and discomfort for the client.
B: Most proximal site - This is vague and does not provide specific guidance on the optimal placement for a client with a right-sided mastectomy.
C: Cordlike vein - Choosing a cordlike vein can indicate thrombosis or inflammation, which are contraindications for IV therapy.
