Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Signs of infiltration include swelling or puffiness, coolness, pain at the insertion site (sometimes), feeling of hardness in the area, and possible leaking of fluid evident around the catheter. The area feels cool, because IV solutions are typically at room temperature, which is cooler than body temperature. The fluid may be leaking around the site, even though the catheter is in the vein; this can indicate that the flow of fluid is too fast.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Adrenal angiogram or venogram tests involve insertion of a catheter and injection of a contrast medium (dye) so that x-ray contrast studies can be done. The client is usually NPO (nothing by mouth) before the test.
