ANS: A, B

Feedback
Correct a & b are two appropriate nursing actions.
Incorrect c & d are not appropriate. In most health care facilities, the health care provider does not perform venipuncture. Applying an ice pack will constrict the vessel, making it not only harder to see, but also too small in diameter to attempt a venipuncture.
