C. Green beans: Green beans are relatively low in potassium and generally safe for a renal diet.

A. Auscultate the antecubital fossa using a Doppler stethoscope. B. Measure the client's blood pressure to ensure it is higher in the left arm than the right. C. Auscultate the site for a bruit. D. Check the brachial and radial pulses of the left arm simultaneously.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. Auscultate the antecubital fossa using a Doppler stethoscope: The graft is located in the forearm, not the antecubital fossa.

B. Measure the client's blood pressure to ensure it is higher in the left arm than the right: This does not assess AV graft patency and blood pressure should be avoided in the arm with a graft.

C. Auscultate the site for a bruit: The presence of a bruit and thrill indicates blood flow through the graft, confirming patency.

D. Check the brachial and radial pulses of the left arm simultaneously: While peripheral pulses can offer some insight, they do not directly confirm graft patency.
