A nurse is assessing a client's IV infusion site and notes that the site is cool and edematous. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

A. Maintaining the extremity below the level of the heart may worsen the edema and is not recommended for infiltration. B. Slowing the IV solution rate may help reduce further fluid buildup but does not address the cool, edematous site. C. Applying a warm, moist compress helps to reduce edema and promotes absorption of infiltrated fluid. D. Initiating a new IV distal to the initial site is not the first action to take and should only be done if the site is not salvageable.
