A client presents with an infection of the forearm and hand. The nurse should expect what lymph nodes to be swollen on assessment:

A. Cervical nodes drain the head and neck area, not typically the forearm or hand. B. Epitrochlear nodes are found near the elbow and are responsible for draining the arm. The nurse would assess these nodes if the infection is in the arm or hand. C. Inguinal nodes drain the lower extremities and groin area, not the upper extremities. D. Axillary nodes drain the upper limbs, including the forearm and hand, and are likely to be swollen if there is an infection in the upper extremities.
