a patient who has diabetes states that he prefers to be drawn on the inside of his wrist. which of the following actions should a phlebotomy technician take? draw from the inside of the patients wrist. warm the ventral side of the hand to enhance vein location prior to the draw. perform the draw on his foot. attempt to draw from the antecubital region.
Answer
# Brief Explanations:
Drawing from the inside of the wrist is not ideal due to the proximity of nerves and tendons. Warming the hand doesn't address the issue of the patient - requested site. Drawing from the foot is not a first - choice and not in response to the patient's request. The antecubital region is the preferred site for venipuncture as it has larger, more accessible veins and is a safer option compared to the wrist.
# Answer:
Attempt to draw from the antecubital region.
