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: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. Placing the tourniquet below the proposed insertion site helps to engorge the veins, making them more visible and easier to access for IV insertion. Placing the extremity in a dependent position (
A) may cause increased blood flow, making it harder to visualize veins. Applying a cool compress (
C) constricts blood vessels, making veins less prominent. Choosing the most proximal site (
D) may increase the risk of complications and is not recommended for IV insertion.
