Since developing venipuncture skills requires practice, the background art inclues several devices intended to artificially simulate arteries and veins of a human limb for enabling a medical professional to repeatedly practice and develop proper venipuncture skills.
Once the device is strapped on to a user's forearm and filled with fluid, a student is able to practice and develop proper venipuncture procedures without any of the risks associated with practicing the procedures on a person's actual veins and arteries.

 Nursing: Danger points: How to prevent nerve injuries from venipuncture
Using good venipuncture practices and techniques, recognizing the symptoms of nerve injury, and notifying the physician promptly are the keys to minimizing compression injuries.
Hematoma can result from uncontrolled bleeding at the venipuncture site (usually after an unsuccessful venipuncture attempt or when a needle punctures the opposite vein wall) or from inadequate pressure at the site after the needle is removed from the vein.
You can also reduce the risk of nerve puncture by using good venipuncture technique: First, retract the skin and stabilize the vein; then, insert the needle at a 5- to 15-degree angle.

Almost all children have a natural fear of needles, but studies show that age is a significant factor in how they behave, their level of distress, fear, and perception of pain.
