A. Request central venous access. B. Continue the infusion while elevating the arm. C. Immediately stop the infusion and select an alternate intravenous site. D. Apply warm packs to the arm and infuse the medication at a slower rate.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

a) Requesting central venous access is not the first-line response to signs of redness, pain, and irritation at the current infusion site. It's essential to address the immediate issue first.

b) Continuing the infusion while elevating the arm may exacerbate the symptoms and is not an appropriate action when there are signs of localized irritation.

c) Stopping the infusion and selecting an alternate intravenous site is the correct action to prevent further complications and assess the cause of the irritation.

d) Applying warm packs and infusing the medication at a slower rate may not be sufficient to address the observed redness and pain, and an alternate site should be considered.
