What is the proper cleansing of the venipuncture site?

Spraying with alcohol
Washing with soap and water
Applying antifungal cream
Removes staph from entry site

The correct answer is: Removes staph from entry site

The proper cleansing of the venipuncture site involves removing staph bacteria from the entry site. Options A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not specifically address removing staph bacteria. While applying alcohol or washing with soap and water can help reduce bacteria in the area, they may not completely remove staph. Similarly, applying antifungal cream is not an effective method for removing staph bacteria. Overall, option D is the most accurate answer as it specifically addresses the importance of removing staph bacteria in the cleansing process.
