Answer to Question 1
D
Specimens of blood can be obtained by various health care team members by venipuncture, by arterial or capillary puncture, from central lines, or from implanted ports. Standard Precautions are used for any of these procedures. The nurse may either perform or assist with these techniques, depending on her or his scope of practice and the policy of the health care institution. It is important for the nurse to observe the client's response to the procedure and to see that specimens are correctly labeled and sent to the appropriate laboratory.

Feedback:
Conventional syringes and needles are being redesigned to avoid needlestick injuries and thus to reduce the risk for acquiring a blood-borne viral disease such as hepatitis or AIDS. Redesigned syringes in needles do not increase the accuracy of drug administration or reduce the risk of nosocomial infections. Subcutaneous and intramuscular injections require different sized needles.
