The priority nursing intervention should be to ensure that small clamps are attached to the arteriovenous shunt dressing.

An external arteriovenous shunt is a less common type of access site, but when it is utilized, there is a danger of bleeding since the ends of the external cannula are linked after being tunneled into an artery and a vein beneath the skin.

The client could experience fast blood loss if there is an unintentional disconnect. Because of this, tiny clamps are attached to the dressing that covers the insertion site and are ready for use as required. Additionally, the shunt site needs to be examined at least every 4 hours. Look for bruit and excitement in the shunt to see whether it is functioning properly.

Hi! I would describe this component in my own words by saying component is flexibility by saying that the three components of flexibility are muscle elasticity and length, joint structure and nervous system. Yes, these components of fitness are very important as they help us do the things in our daily lives. I would say the nerve system is more important than the rest with the joint structure coming in second place. We need the nervous system because they they transfer nerve impulses between the parts of our body. I hope this is what you were looking for, Goodluck!
