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 vein is chosen to avoid the risk of lymphedema in the right arm post-mastectomy. The radial vein on the left wrist (
A) is not ideal due to its location and the potential for complications. The cephalic vein on the back of the right hand (
C) is also not suitable as it is on the affected side. The basilic vein in the right antecubital fossa (
D) is on the affected side and could increase the risk of complications. Selecting the cephalic vein in the left distal forearm (
B) ensures safe and effective IV therapy while minimizing the risk of complications.
