A nurse is caring for a group of clients. The nurse should obtain a blood pressure reading using only the left extremity from which of the following clients?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
Blood pressure measurement on an arm with an arteriovenous fistula risks damage; the left arm is used instead. PICC lines, weakness, or Bell's palsy do not contraindicate BP measurement.
