Rationale:
Correct
Answer: A. Choose a vein that is palpable and straight.

Rationale: Selecting a palpable and straight vein ensures successful insertion and reduces the risk of complications like infiltration or phlebitis. A straight vein allows for easier catheter insertion and reduces the chance of vein damage. Palpability helps in accurately locating the vein for successful cannulation.
Summary of Other

Choices:
B: Elevating the client's arm may help distend the veins, but it is not a necessary step for IV catheter insertion.
C: Applying a tourniquet below the venipuncture site can help visualize veins better but is not crucial for successful IV catheter insertion.
D: Selecting the site on the client's dominant arm is not necessary. The nurse should choose the best vein regardless of the arm dominance to ensure successful cannulation.
