Veins in the arms are preferred injection sites for venipuncture in adults for contrast medium administration. This is because these veins are larger and more easily accessible. Choice B is not correct because a 25-gauge needle may not be appropriate for all adult patients and may increase the risk of extravasation. Choice C is also not correct because delayed reaction to intravenous injection is not routine and should be monitored for as a potential adverse reaction.
