An intravenous (IV) line should not be placed in a paralyzed extremity because the lack of muscle movement can lead to poor circulation and increased risk of complications such as infiltration or phlebitis. Additionally, the inability to assess for signs of complications, such as swelling or pain, makes it difficult to monitor the IV's effectiveness and safety. Furthermore, paralyzed limbs may have altered sensation, increasing the risk of unnoticed injury. Overall, placing an IV in such an extremity poses significant risks that can compromise patient safety.
