60 seconds

To ensure that all bacteria are removed from the puncture site for blood cultures, the site should be cleansed using friction for a minimum of 60 seconds.

<h3>Where exactly is the puncture site?</h3>
  • The proper location must be cleansed and punctured with a lancet so that a drop of blood can be softly expressed before blood can be collected using a capillary tube.

<h3>But what constitutes a suitable location? </h3>
  • Finger: In both adults and children, the third or fourth finger is typically favored location as a puncture site

<h3>Where on the body does a skin puncture most frequently occur?</h3>
  • The most frequently used site is the distal end of the third or fourth finger.
  • Because the bone is so close to the skin surface, there is a higher risk of puncturing the bone at the very tip of the finger.

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

C. Bronchial

Explanation:

The different types of lung sounds, also known as breath sounds differ from each other with respect to their location, pitch, relative duration, and intensity.

The bronchial breath sounds are heard just above the clavicle on either side of sternum bone and are characterized by loud amplitude, harsh quality, and high pitch. The bronchial breath sounds are hollow tubular.

The bronchial breath sounds have a short period of silence between the inspiratory and expiratory sounds. The expiratory bronchial sounds last longer than the inspiratory bronchial sounds (I<E).
