Answer:

The correct answer is:

after the vein is entered (A.)

Explanation:

The procedure in the question describes venopuncture.

Venopuncture is the method of aseptically collecting blood into the right sample containers. Using a stopper-punturing needle and a vacuum tube, the following procedure is followed:

  1. assemble the needle and hub (needle holder)
  2. apply the tourniquet and examine the arm for palpable vein, palpate the vein
  3. release the tourniquet and swab the collection site with 70% alcohol
  4. allow the swab to dry
  5. reapply the tourniquet
  6. insert the stopper-puncturing needle (attached to hub) into the appropriate vein
  7. after the vein is entered, the stopper-puncturing needle should be completely pushed into the evacuated (vacuum) tubes
  8. blood will flow into the tube until vacuum is completely filled
  9. pull out the tube and invert gently several times if the tube contains anticoagulants
  10. place a gauze on the site of puncture (do not press down the gauze)
  11. remove the needle and press down the gauze immediately
  12. dispose the needle into the sharps container or appropriately
  13. label the tubes.
