Question 1 of 5

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

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Choose a vein that is palpable and straight. This is important to ensure successful cannulation and reduce the risk of complications. Palpable veins are easier to access, reducing the chances of multiple attempts and discomfort for the client. Straight veins allow for easier insertion and proper flow of IV fluids. Elevating the arm (choice
A) can help with vein distention but is not necessary for all clients. Applying a tourniquet (choice
B) is used to make veins more visible but should be released before inserting the catheter. Selecting a site on the dominant arm (choice
C) is not necessary and may not always be the best option for vein accessibility.
