Phlebotomy Technician Practice Exam (NCPT/CPT)

Question: 1 / 400

How should the venipuncture site be cleaned?

In a random pattern

With alcohol only

With water and soap

Concentric motion

The venipuncture site should be cleaned in a concentric motion because it ensures that the area is thoroughly cleaned and reduces the risk of contamination. Cleaning in a random pattern may lead to missed spots and increase the risk of infection. Using alcohol only may not effectively remove all bacteria and using soap and water alone may not properly disinfect the site. Therefore, using a concentric motion with alcohol is the recommended method for cleaning the venipuncture site.
