Hello PROZiers,
I'm translating a CONSENT FOR PERIPHERALLY INSERTED
CENTRAL CATHETER (PICC). Here's the context:
"Every effort will be made to place the PICC in your non-dominant arm."
I'm not sure if "brazo no dominante" is appropriate. Where's the doctors in the house?

en el brazo que menos utiliza
Tal vez haya una expresión más "técnica" pero creo que esta es la idea, y al tratarse de un formulario de consentimiento creo que es suficiente.
Si es una persona diestra, se le coloca en el brazo izquierdo, y si es zurda en el derecho :-)
suerte!

Note from asker:
| Elizabeth, I too would have chosen something like this rather than "brazo no dominante". However, in medical terms, the latter is the most common and apropriately used translation. Thanks anyway! |
