A member asked:
Ideas? what are possible areas where venipuncture can be performed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many areas.: Venipunctures can be performed in many areas but the most common are in the veins in the hands or arms. Sometimes, in people whose veins are difficult to fine, veins in the groins (femora's) or even the neck (jugular) can be used.
