1 all the way through vein 2against vein wall 3partially in
29
techniques for transferring blood from syringe into tubes (2)
transfer device | popping top of collection tube pushing blood in
30
proper puncture site on infants heel
lateral or medial area planter surface
31
red stopper tube spun down yields
serum clotted red cells
32
how prepare collection site for blood cultures why important to take extra steps
clean bottle w betadine, sterile site, air dry prevent contamination of culture
33
highest concentration of drug during dosing interval is called
peak
34
explain glucose tolerance test
specimen drawn after fasting 8-12 hrs paTIENT DRINK GLUCOSE SOLUTION DRaw 1 hr intervals u to 5 hrs
35
does order of draw change depending on collection
no
36
why warm site before puncture
increase blood flow
37
why control depth of lancet in skin in puncture
don't puncture bone | cause excessive blood
38
1st step doing skin puncture to eliminate tissue fluid contamination
wipe away 1st drop
39
consequence of mixing tube too vigorously
hemolysis
40
drawing from child steps taKEN what no to do
gain trust talk terms they understand be reassuring and patient never say it won't hurt
41
why not pump fist prior to puncture
hemoconcentration
42

25 18
52
small veins collapse when what occurs (2)
draw to quickly to much vaccum pressure syringe plunger to fast
53
indication of artery blood and not vein
bright red blood pulsing into tube

#1 cause of hemoconcentration in venipuncture
prolonged turnquit
