Venipuncture is the technique that permits access to a vein, usually to withdraw a blood specimen or initiate an intravenous infusion. Venipuncture is a sterile procedure since the integrity of the skin is broken.

This block of instruction and the demonstration will prepare you for performing a venipuncture on patients to obtain a blood specimen. The procedures in this class are closely related to those you will use in the class on initiating an IV.
