Some clinical sites require students to introduce themselves as students and to ask if the patient minds them performing the procedure.
Not to mention, we wear shirts that say "EMT Student" and ID cards that say "Student".

Taping Suggestions?
If the vein has a pulse, don't poke it.
Personally, I would think that an IV with a cath located in an artery would likely not run all that well and actually have significant back pressure with blood entering the tubing.

Depends on the patient's BP. It won't flow rapidly but you should get some flow.
most arterial lines bleed less than their venous counterparts upon removal.
And if you do, whatever you do, don't push epi through that line unless you want to experience the full wrath of your medical director.
