Hesi Study Module 8 Exam Questions 1. ID: 8482576270A nurse notes that the site of a client’s peripheral intravenous (IV) catheter is reddened, warm, painful, and slightly edematous near the in sert... ion point of the catheter. On the basis of this assessment, the nurse first: Removes the IV catheter Correct Slows the rate of infusion Notifies the healthcare provider Checks for loose catheter connections Rationale: Phlebitis is an inflammatory process in the vein. Phlebitis at an IV site may be indicated by client discomfort at the site or by redness, warmth, and swelling in the area of the catheter. The IV catheter should be removed and a new IV line inserted at a different site. Slowing the rate of infusion and checking for loose catheter connections are not correct responses. The healthcare provider would be notified if phlebitis were to occur, but this is not the initial action. Test-Taking Strategy: Use the process of elimination, focusing on the data in the question. Eliminate slowing the rate of infusion and checking the connection, because they are comparable or alike in that they indicate continuation of IV therapy. Although the healthcare provider would be notified of this occurrence, the word “first” should direct you to select the option of removing the IV catheter. Review the signs of phlebitis and the actions to be taken when it occurs if you had difficulty with this question.
