The nurse should not use the arm with the AV fistula for intravenous infusion,blood pressure readings,or venipuncture.Compression and infection can result in the loss of the AV fistula.The AV fistula should be monitored by auscultating or palpating the access site.Checking the distal pulse would be an appropriate assessment.
