Question 1 of 5
A healthcare professional is asked to draw blood in the antecubital (AC) space. Which of the following veins are found in the AC?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is 'All of the above.' All three of these veins - the cephalic, median cubital, and basilic veins - are located in the antecubital space, which is the area in front of the elbow on the arm. The cephalic vein runs along the outer side of the arm, the basilic vein runs along the inner side of the arm, and the median cubital vein is a connecting vein between the cephalic and basilic veins.
Therefore, all three veins can be accessed when drawing blood from the antecubital space.
Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because each of these veins individually can be found in the antecubital space.
