A patient has a continuous IV infusion at 60 mL/hr.The right hand IV has infiltrated and the nurse has started a new IV on the left forearm.Which intervention should the nurse also perform?

A) Elevate the patient's left forearm.
B) Schedule daily dressing changes to the new IV site.
C) Change the administration set.
D) Place the patient in Fowler's position.

Since the continuous IV infusion was previously being administered through the right hand IV, there is a risk that the new IV site may not be compatible with the current administration set. Changing the administration set will ensure that the medication is being delivered safely and effectively. Elevating the patient's forearm and placing them in Fowler's position are not necessary interventions for this situation. Daily dressing changes may be necessary, but this is not the priority intervention.
