Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

A winged infusion blood collection set is a type of needle used to collect blood from small or difficult veins difficult to access using a straight needle. They can be used for both intravenous delivery of fluids or drugs or for blood collection.

When using a winged infusion blood collection set, if the first tube is an additive tube, it is important to collect a few milliliters of blood into a nonadditive tube or another additive tube of the same type, and dispose it before collecting the first tube.
