A nurse is planning to insert a peripheral iv catheter for an older adult client, the action in which the nurse should plan to take is to position the client's arm in the dependent position.
This refers to a small, short plastic catheter which is inserted into the skin through the vein and is used to provide fluids and drugs to the body especially when one is ill.
This is usually fixed to a patient's arm and often times in the head region at an angle of fifteen to thirty degrees with the use of adhesives and attached to a drip which is hanged and slowly releases its content.
The nurse should take the client's arm in the dependent position as it reduces the risk of the vein being distended due to gravity thereby eliminating complications and encouraging adequate recovery of the patient.
