"There's blood backing up my baby's IV tubing.”.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is D

Blood backing up in the IV tubing indicates a problem with the IV line, not necessarily infiltration.

Choice B rationale:

A long red streak up the arm could indicate phlebitis, not infiltration.

Choice C rationale:

Loose tape could cause the IV needle to dislodge, but it doesn’t directly indicate infiltration.

Swelling around the IV site is a common sign of infiltration.

So, the correct answer is D. “My baby’s fingers are looking swollen.”.
