- The number one priority when a hematoma begins to form is to immediately stop the blood draw.

- Releasing the tourniquet before withdrawing the needle is a critical step to prevent hematoma formation.

- Common causes tested on the exam include transfixing the vein, partial needle insertion, and using an incorrect needle gauge.

- Use the mnemonic 'STOP' for management: Stop the draw, Talk to the patient, Oppress with firm pressure, and Pack with a cold compress.

- Proper documentation of the incident and response is a key professional responsibility covered on the exam.
