Practice Question
A nurse is assessing a client who is receiving continuous IV therapy through a peripheral IV. The catheter site is cool and taut, and there is IV fluid leaking. The nurse should identify that the client has manifestations of which of the following complications?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Infiltration
Rationale:
💧 Cool, taut skin at the IV site indicates fluid leaking into surrounding tissue.
💧 IV fluid leaking confirms non-vesicant solution is entering subcutaneous tissue.
💧 Infection would typically show redness, warmth, and purulent drainage.
💧 Circulatory overload presents with bounding pulses, edema, and crackles, not local IV changes.
💧 Phlebitis shows red streaks, tenderness, and warmth, distinct from infiltration.
