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.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
