Explanation:

Tissue swelling distal to an IV catheter bandage usually occurs due to restricted blood and lymphatic flow. An overly tight bandage can cause such restriction leading to swelling. An overly loose bandage would not typically cause this issue. Overperfusion of tissue by IV fluids is not the common cause for this type of swelling. Infection may cause swelling but not specifically in the context of being distal to the bandage due to bandage - related issues.
