A venepuncture procedure must never be performed without the patient sitting or lying down.
EXPLANATION:
In other words, venepuncture must not be performed on a standing patient as this may cause serious injury to the patient.
Venepuncture refers to process of collection of blood from veins. To perform this, a sterile needle must be used so that the patient does not catch any infection.
Arm veins are the best for performing venepuncture as these can be easily located.
