What is the correct way to end a venipuncture procedure?

To correctly end a venipuncture procedure, first, remove the needle while applying direct pressure to the puncture site with a clean gauze to minimize bleeding. Once the bleeding has stopped, secure a bandage over the site. Dispose of the needle and any used materials in appropriate sharps and biohazard containers, and ensure proper hand hygiene is practiced afterward. Finally, document the procedure as required.
