Answer to Question 1

Answer: Axillary lymph nodes are in the armpit area near the breast. They are frequently removed during a mastectomy (surgical breast removal). Thus, these patients lose drainage ability on that side. Phlebotomists should not collect blood specimens from the mastectomy side due to the accumulation of additional fluids resulting from the lack of lymph nodes in the area.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: TRUE
