Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The primary parameters of pH, PCO2, and PO2 in a blood sample are measured with a blood gas analyzer.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The most common site for sampling is the heel, specifically the lateral aspect of the plantar sur-face. Before any puncture is done the site should be properly warmed to arterialize the skin and clean with an antiseptic solution to prevent infections.
