Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pressure is applied to the site after needle removal to prevent hematoma formation. Applying pressure with a gauze pad or cotton ball for a few minutes can help seal the puncture site and reduce bleeding. It is important to remove the tourniquet before applying pressure to prevent excessive pressure buildup in the arm. Bending the elbow is not necessary for applying pressure to the site. Labeling the tubes should be done before removing the needle, but this is not related to applying pressure.
