Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Tubes of blood are labeled after the tube is drawn but before leaving the patient. Prelabeling tubes or labeling after an outpatient leaves or phlebotomist leaves the patient's room both carry the risk of mislabeling the tube with the wrong patient identification.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
If the site adjacent to the venipuncture site starts to swell profusely, this indicates that blood is flowing into the surrounding tissue because the needle is not properly situated in the vein. The needle should be removed and pressure applied to the site to prevent further leakage of blood into tissue, causing an even larger hematoma.
