Answer to Question 1

B
Apply the tourniquet by encircling the extremity and pulling one end of the tourniquet tightly over the other, looping one end under the other so it can be removed by pulling the end with a single motion. Apply the tourniquet 2 to 4 inches above the venipuncture site selected. Palpate the distal pulse below the tourniquet; if the pulse is not palpable, reapply the tourniquet more loosely.

Answer to Question 2

D
