Answer to Question 1

A
If drawing a sample for a blood alcohol level or blood culture, use only an antiseptic swab, not an alcohol swab. Do not keep a tourniquet on the patient longer than 1 minute.

Answer to Question 2

D
D. Determine allergy to antiseptic, tape, latex, and lubricant. Betadine allergies are common; if the client is unaware of allergy, ask if allergic to shellfish.
