How do you draw blood from an IV line?
Type your answer here... if a patient has an intravenous line (IV) in the arm, can the phlebotomist draw blood
Explain why you should not take a blood pressure in a patient who has lessened circulation in his or her arm?
Taking blood pressure is not recommended on a limb with an IV because it can cause the vein to blow, resulting in a new IV line needing to be inserted. You can take a blood pressure on an IV limb when there is no other choice but try to do it far away from the IV site. If the IV is at the wrist/hand use the upper arm, if it's at the elbow use the lower arm close to the wrist.Good Luck I hope this helps.

Why should blood not be drawn routinely from above an iv infusion site?
When asking why blood is drawn 'below' an IV site, it is presumed that this means distal (or further from the heart) when compared to the IV. The reason for drawing blood distal to the site of IV insertion is simple. When venous blood returns to the heart, administration of medications, electrolytes, and fluids is often through the IV. Therefore, we want to obtain blood which has not yet been affected by the medication or fluids given to the patient through the IV. For example, if a patient's blood magnesium levels are low, and we are giving therapeutic magnesium to increase these levels, we would want to monitor the effect of our treatment. Therefore, we would want to see the effect of magnesium infusion at a site without interference by the magnesium being infused through the IV. Therefore, we measure distal to the site of the IV, so that our blood sample represents the body's general levels magnesium, without influence from the IV line.
