Answer:

apply pressure over the aspiration site

Step-by-step explanation:

Bone marrow aspiration is a difficult and delegate procedure which is performed inside bigger bones which generate red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. After bone marrow aspiration, the first nursing action must be to apply pressure over the aspiration site to help circulate the blood. A small bandage area is the aspiration site where the needle went to operate the affected area.
