Practice Question
What area on the body can a nurse place IV access?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Left forearm
Rationale:
💎 The forearm veins are commonly used for peripheral IV access due to easy visibility, accessibility, and safety.
💎 The thigh is less preferred due to risk of infection and difficulty in monitoring.
💎 The neck (jugular veins) is used only for central venous access, not routine peripheral IVs.
💎 The lower back does not contain accessible veins suitable for IV insertion.
💎 Peripheral IVs should be placed in sites that allow easy monitoring, mobility, and reduced risk of complications.
