“Name of the vein that is located on the inner arm, in the antecubital area.”
  1. Median cubital.
  2. Basilic.
  3. Brachial.
  4. Cephalic.
Explanation
Answer: B - The basilic vein is located on the inside of the arm, in the antecubital area. It is one of three veins used for phlebotomy. The median cubital and cephalic veins are the other two. It is considered the last choice of the three, because it is not anchored well and, because of the location (near an artery and nerve), it tends to be a more difficult and painful area.
