You'll get sleepy: There are multiple potential sites for the IV to be placed. Many providers will have their own preferences, but you can make a suggestion and see what he or she has to say about it. Sometimes the vessels are better in one arm versus the other, so it may come down to that.

Yes,: I suggest you hold your arm down and look for a vein you would prefer
