Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing a client for outpatient surgery. After the nurse inserts the IV catheter, the client reports pain in the insertion area. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Remove the catheter and insert another into a different site. This is the appropriate action because pain at the insertion site could indicate improper placement or irritation of the vein. Removing and reinserting the catheter in a different site can help alleviate the pain and ensure proper placement.
Option B is incorrect as administering an oral analgesic may not provide immediate relief at the site of pain. Option C is unnecessary as a central venous access device is not indicated for managing pain at an IV insertion site. Option D, administering a local anesthetic, may mask the pain temporarily but does not address the underlying issue of improper catheter placement.
