What technique is used to clean the venipuncture site?

  1. Aseptic

  2. Antiseptic

  3. Alcoholic

  4. Sterilization

The correct answer is: Aseptic

Scientists use Aseptic technique to clean the venipuncture site, because it refers to procedures and precautions taken to prevent contamination or infection. Antiseptics and alcohol are not specifically designed for this purpose, as they do not necessarily kill all germs and bacteria. Sterilization, on the other hand, involves completely destroying all forms of life and is not necessary for minor medical procedures like venipuncture.
