Question 1 of 5

A nurse is preparing to insert an IV catheter for an adult client. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Place the extremity in a dependent position. Placing the extremity in a dependent position facilitates venous distention, making it easier to locate and access the vein for IV insertion. This position helps increase blood flow to the area and allows gravity to assist in dilating the veins. Placing the tourniquet below the proposed insertion site (
A) would impede venous return and make it difficult to visualize and access the vein. Applying a cool compress (
B) would cause vasoconstriction and make the veins less visible and accessible. Choosing the most proximal site on the extremity (
D) may not be necessary and could increase the risk of complications such as infiltration or phlebitis.
