What part of the body may be referenced as an anatomical guide for the subclavian artery?     A. Sternum     B. Sternoclavicular articulation     C. Clavicle     D. Sternocleidomastoid muscle

match the artery to the vein                                                              common carotid                                                             Brachial artery                                                             subclavian artery                                                             femoral artery A. femoral vein B. brachiocephalic vein C. Basilic Vein D. internal jugular

The great and small saphenous veins are located in thea. forearm.b. foot.c. leg.d. neck.

Assuming normal anatomy, which of the following landmarks is appropriate for gaining subclavian venous access? A. Needle insertion medial to the sternocleidomastoid muscle, just medial to the carotid artery B. Needle insertion above the inguinal ligament, lateral to the femoral artery C. Needle insertion at the midpoint of the clavicle with the needle directed toward the suprasternal notch D. Needle insertion at the lateral border of the clavicular head of the sternocleidomastoid muscle in the interscalene groove

Select the letter of the choice that best completes the statement. The most common site for taking a pulse is thea. popliteal artery.b. dorsalis pedis artery.c. radial artery.d. temporal artery.

From the center of the popliteal space to a point midway between the medial malleolus and the calcaneus bone describes the:     A. Place of incision for the anterior tibial artery     B. Linear guide for the anterior tibial artery     C. Place of incision for the posterior tibial artery     D. Linear guide for the posterior tibial artery

Which vessel is found in the upper extremity?     A. Basillic vein     B. Vertebral artery     C. Brachiocephalic vein     D. Doralis pedis artery
