Step 1:
Wash hands with soap and warm water and dry thoroughly. Warm water
stimulates blood ow to the ngers making it easier to obtain a sample.
Step 2:
Hang the arm down at the side for 10 to 15 seconds; massage through the
wrist, palm, and then the nger. This can stimulate the blood ow to the
nger more quickly.
