Question 1 of 10
1. Question
8 points
The AV500 should be held at what distance from the patient?Correct
The AV500 can be held anywhere from 6 to 10 inches (15 to 25 cm) from the body of the patient. As you get closer, the projection gets brighter and smaller. As you move away, the projection gets larger and less bright. Pick a distance that suits the patient and room lighting.

2. Question
8 pointsThe AV500 should be held in what
orientation to the veins?
Correct
The AV500 can be held in whatever orientation is convenient for you. This will vary based on your position and the patient’s position. You may change orientations between handheld assessment and placement in a hands-free stand. Regardless of what angle you hold the device relative to the vein direction, always remember to hold the unit directly over the veins you are studying.

12 points
The “wipe technique” involves occluding the vein, pushing the blood out of the vessel and watching it refill. This is done in order to ________.
(multiple answers are allowed)Correct 12 / 12PointsThe wipe technique is used to verify vein patency by occluding and wiping the vein; you can verify blood refill as well as the structure of the vessel. This helps you avoid valves and bifurcations during cannulation so that you can avoid damaging or “blowing” the vein.

Question 9 of 10
9. Question
8 pointsIf you see spots on the projected site while viewing the veins on a patient, what should you do?
Correct
If there are spots on the lens you’ll be able to see them because a dark spot will move with the device while you are viewing veins. If you see spots on the projected site while viewing veins, you can clean the lens with a slightly damp or pre-moistened alcohol prep pad.
Tip: Never submerge the unit or use a wet cloth.
If the cloth is dripping, then it is too damp. Pre-moistened pads are just right.Incorrect
