Which actions should be completed when prepping the patient for a transradial cardiac catheterization? (chose 2 responses) - prep right groin - position wrist in prone position - IV antibiotics given for the procedure - start IV on same arm as radial access - Allen's test performed prior to wrist prep - body surface area - CORRECT ANSWER-11.
