Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

C
Collect 10 to 15 mL of venous blood by venipuncture in a 20-mL syringe from each venipuncture site. Culture specimens must be obtained from two sites. Dispose of needles, syringe, and soiled equipment in the proper container. Do not cap the needles. Mix gently after inoculation. If both aerobic and anaerobic cultures are needed, inoculate the anaerobic culture first.
