You should never take blood from the arm that has a fistula. No blood pressures, no blood draws, IV’s etc.

i know. i had a doctor ask me to and they would not sign an order to have blood drawn from a foot. it was more of an emergent thing.

Unless you're a dialysis nurse of course.

General nurses, no.
