Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Blood samples from adult patients should be obtained with 23- to 25-gauge needles.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
An Allen test should always be done before a radial artery puncture is performed to ensure that there is collateral circulation in the ulnar artery. An Allen type of test should be performed to en-sure collateral circulation in the posterior tibial and lateral plantar arteries when drawing arterial blood from the dorsal artery of the foot.
