Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The discarded volume for an infant is typically only approximately 0.2 to 0.5 mL.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Collateral circulation must be ensured before the puncture by performing a modified Allen test. After the test shows sufficient collateral circulation, the site should be prepared for the puncture by cleaning with a suitable antiseptic solution. Blood samples should be obtained with a small-gauge needle (i.e., 23 to 25 gauge). After blood has been withdrawn and the needle re-moved, direct pressure should be applied to the puncture site to prevent the formation of a he-matoma. Air bubbles should then be removed because their presence can produce erroneous measurements.
