Question: When a nurse identifies a vein that is likely to "roll" during an
IV start, which technique should be employed?
a. Select an alternative vessel. b. Increase the pressure of the tourniquet. c.
Stabilize and stretch the skin over the vein. d. Opt for a smaller gauge IV
catheter.
Answer: c. Stretch the vein.
Rationale: To prevent a vein from moving (rolling) during insertion, the nurse
should use the non-dominant hand to apply traction, stretching the skin taut
below the insertion site. This anchors the vein in place, making successful
cannulation more likely.
✔✔
Question: After successfully starting an IV and securing the site, what is
the final step in the procedural process?
a. Dispose of used medical supplies. b. Perform the "5 Ps" assessment. c.
Document the details of the procedure. d. Apply a label to the dressing site.
Answer: c. Document the procedure.
Rationale: In nursing, the rule is "if it wasn't documented, it wasn't done."
While cleaning up and labeling are important, the formal completion of any
clinical procedure is the official documentation in the patient's medical record.

Question: Which of the following sites should a nurse avoid when selecting
a location for peripheral IV access?
a. The lower extremities of a patient with diabetes. b. Veins that have been
recently deaccessed or show signs of infiltration. c. An arm containing an
active dialysis fistula or graft. d. The side of the body where a patient has
undergone a mastectomy. e. All of the above.
Answer: e. All of the above.
Rationale:
Diabetes: Lower extremity IVs carry a high risk of infection and slow
healing due to poor circulation.
, Mastectomy/Fistula: These areas have compromised lymphatic
drainage or specialized vascular access that must be protected from
injury or lymphedema.
Recent sites: Using recently used or damaged veins increases the risk of
phlebitis and fluid leakage. ✔✔
