Answer to Question 1

C
Apply a flat tourniquet around the arm, above the antecubital fossa or 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 cm) above the proposed insertion site. Do not shave the area. Shaving may cause microabrasions and may predispose to infection. Use the most distal site in the nondominant arm, if possible. Vigorous friction and multiple taping of the veins, especially in older adults, may cause hematoma and/or venous constriction.

Answer to Question 2

C
