Some educational topics can be instructed in a group setting. Strategies to reduce salt intake and increase activity are two topics that would be appropriate for a group instruction. The other choices are appropriate for individual instruction.

The cephalic vein should be reserved for a midline or peripherally inserted central catheter since it is located near the antecubital fossa. The other veins are appropriate for IV starts.
