increase the likelihood of success in initiating the VAD?
Select all that apply.

Select a vein that is visible but not palpable
Massage the arm distal to the selected venipuncture site
Apply a tourniquet tightly enough to suppress the radial

Apply a warm compress to the client’s arm for 10 to 15
minutes
Use the non-dominant hand to hold the skin taut against the
selected vein
