4-month-old infant


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is preparing to collect a capillary blood specimen from the heel of a 4-month-old infant. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Puncture the outer aspect of the heel. This is the correct action because the outer aspect of the heel has better blood flow and is less painful for the infant. Puncturing the inner aspect can lead to injury of the medial and lateral plantar arteries and nerves. Wiping the site with alcohol after the puncture (choice
A) can introduce contaminants, increasing the risk of infection. Applying a cool pack (choice
C) can vasoconstrict blood vessels, making it harder to collect the specimen. Using a surgical blade (choice
D) is unnecessary and increases the risk of injury.
