Explanation

Answer: C - Providing a protective environment is a special consideration when working with newborns. When working with older adults, special considerations include mobility issues, issues with vision and hearing, cognitive or memory issues, and issues related to a suitable venipuncture site. As people age, veins begin to roll more easily because of the loss of fat and collagen. Medication or disease may cause thin fragile veins.
