Can a nurse insert a peripheral IV in the chest?
It would depend on the institutions policy on peripheral IVs. The chest and/or breast is an uncommon area for a peripheral IV to be inserted. There is no evidence to support a peripheral chest IV. Insertion of a chest and/or breast IV is potentially dangerous, and a very high risk. If the IV extravasates, the recipient would be at risk for a skin burn to the loss and or disfigurement of a breast, especially the woman. The question the nurse should ask before placement of the chest IV should be, "does the risk out weigh the benefit?" I would strongly recommend other alternatives for intravenous access, i.e intraosseus, central venous catheter, picc, etc.

What vein is used to place an IVC?
To place an intravenous cannula (IVC) the preferred veins are in the patient's arm. As a general rule, the patient's non-dominant extremity should be used. That is, if a patient is right handed, the left arm should be used for IV access. In general, any distended vein may be used as long as all clinical and medical procedures and precautions are followed during the procedure.

Explain why you should not take a blood pressure in a patient who has lessened circulation in his or her arm?
Taking blood pressure is not recommended on a limb with an IV because it can cause the vein to blow, resulting in a new IV line needing to be inserted. You can take a blood pressure on an IV limb when there is no other choice but try to do it far away from the IV site. If the IV is at the wrist/hand use the upper arm, if it's at the elbow use the lower arm close to the wrist.Good Luck I hope this helps.
