The nurse enters the room of a patient who is 1-day postoperative left-sided mastectomy and notes a phlebotomist taking blood from her left antecubital space. What should the nurse do first?
1. Nothing; the nurse is not the phlebotomist’s supervisor. 2. Nothing; blood pressures should be avoided in the affected arm, but blood draws are safe. 3. Stop the phlebotomist and ask that the blood be drawn from the right arm. 4. Notify the health care provider
