A phlebotomist is preparing a heel stick on a two-day-old infant. Which site is acceptable?

Only the medial and lateral plantar surfaces of the heel are used, because the calcaneus does not extend into these areas. The posterior curvature sits directly over the bone, and the arch overlies nerves, tendons and cartilage. The great toe and other fingers or toes are not acceptable dermal puncture sites in a newborn.
