C. Temperature is not a priority assessment before administering amlodipine.

D. Blood pressure should be assessed before administering amlodipine, as it is a calcium channel blocker used to treat hypertension, and it can lower blood pressure.

A. A vein in the client's dominant arm B. A vein proximal to the previous site C. A vein that feels hard to the touch D. A vein on the client's wrist

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. A vein in the dominant arm can be used, but it is not necessarily the best choice for a re-insertion.

B. A vein proximal to the previous site is the best option to avoid using the same vein where complications (e.g., infiltration, thrombosis) have occurred.

C. A vein that feels hard to the touch may indicate previous injury or sclerosis, making it unsuitable for insertion.

D. The wrist vein is less ideal because it is smaller and more difficult to access compared to veins in the forearm.
