d.Cancel the order and document that no site was available
Giải thích
When no other site exists, the infusion is stopped by licensed personnel, a short wait allows the fluid to clear, the draw is made distal to the IV so blood has not passed the infusion point, and a discard volume clears residual fluid. Drawing above a running IV dilutes the specimen with infusate. Drawing from a line without flushing gives contaminated results, and simply canceling the order abandons a resolvable problem.
