True or False: A venipuncture should be completed under any circumstance/condition.

  1. True

  2. False

The correct answer is: False

A venipuncture is a medical procedure where a needle is used to draw blood from a vein. This procedure should only be completed when necessary, and not under any circumstance or condition. It should only be done by a trained medical professional after careful evaluation of the patient's health and need for blood collection. Therefore, the statement "A venipuncture should be completed under any circumstance/condition" is false. Option A is incorrect because it does not take into account the potential risks and drawbacks of a venipuncture, such as bruising, infection, or discomfort for the patient.
