Yes, blood can be drawn from a paralyzed arm, provided that the veins are accessible and the site is suitable for venipuncture. However, the procedure may be more challenging due to muscle atrophy or altered circulation. Healthcare professionals will assess the best approach to ensure a successful blood draw while minimizing discomfort for the patient.

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.
