When selecting a site for venipuncture, avoid veins that are deep, sclerosed (hardened), or thrombosed (clotted), as well as those that are located near areas of infection or inflammation. Additionally, avoid veins that are too small or fragile, as they may collapse during the procedure. Selecting a suitable vein ensures a successful draw and minimizes discomfort for the patient.

What factors to consider when selecting the best site for venus access?

Where the easiest-to-get-to veins are, if the site will be too inconvenient for the patient (whether they're left or right handed etc...) , fat level at the site (the more fat the less painful the procedure is, but the more difficult it is to hit a vein), how painful the site will be to puncture, whether the site/surrounding area will be needed for other medical procedures, whether there's already a reason a particular site cannot be used (bruising etc...)

What questions should I ask before selecting a matchmaking service?

Before selecting a matchmaking service, you should ask how they come up with their matches. You should also find out all of the fine-print regarding the charges. Read reviews and see if you can find success stories from that matchmaker (NOT the ones they list on their website). I found my husband on OKCupid.com, not that I'm recommending that site particularly!
