Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to insert an IV catheter for a client following a right mastectomy. Which of the following veins should the nurse select when initiating IV therapy?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: The cephalic vein in the left distal forearm. This choice is appropriate because it is important to avoid the affected side (right side after mastectomy) to prevent complications such as lymphedema and infection. Selecting a vein on the opposite side (left distal forearm) ensures proper venous access without compromising the client's health. The other choices (A, C, and
D) are incorrect because they involve veins on the right side, which could lead to increased risk of complications in a client post-mastectomy.
