A nurse performs Allen’s test to evaluate the adequacy of circulation in the radial artery by:
1.   asking the patient to relax the hand by the side.
2.   compress only the ulnar artery to blanch the hand.
3.   releasing pressure on both arteries at the same time.
4.   color returning to hand indicates perfusion.


This is for my medical nursing class
