A nurse is caring for a client who requires a re-insertion of a short peripheral venous catheter. In which of the following locations should the nurse place the catheter?

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.
