Question 1 of 5

A nurse is providing discharge teaching to a client who has a new arteriovenous fistula in the right forearm. Which of the following manifestations should the nurse include in the teaching as a possible indication of venous insufficiency?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Pallor and numbness distal to the fistula site. This is indicative of venous insufficiency in a client with an arteriovenous fistula. Venous insufficiency occurs when there is inadequate venous return to the heart, leading to decreased blood flow and oxygen delivery to the tissues. Pallor and numbness are signs of decreased blood flow, which can occur when the fistula is not functioning properly. Cold and numbness (choice
A) may indicate arterial insufficiency, not venous. Redness and warmth (choice
C) are signs of inflammation, not venous insufficiency. Pain in the fistula site (choice
D) may be due to other reasons like infection or nerve compression, not necessarily venous insufficiency.
