Q

The order of draw for ETS is different from the order of draw when filling tubes from a syringe. True or False

A

False - it is the same

17
Q

The order of draw:

  • Blood cultures (yellow stopper tubes, culture bottles)
  • Lavender stopper tubes (EDTA)
  • Red/gray, gold stopper tubes (serum separator tubes), red stopper plastic tubes (clot activator), and red stopper glass tubes
  • Green stopper tubes and light green (plasma separator tubes) (heparin)
  • Light blue stopper tubes (sodium citrate)
  • Yellow/gray or orange stopper tubes
    (thrombin clot activator)
  • Gray stopper tubes (potassium
    oxalate/sodium fluoride)

True or False

A

False

  • Blood cultures (yellow
    stopper tubes, culture bottles)
  • Light blue stopper tubes (sodium citrate)
  • Red/gray, gold stopper tubes (serum separator tubes), red stopper plastic tubes (clot activator), and red stopper glass tubes
  • Green stopper tubes and light green (plasma separator tubes) (heparin)
  • Lavender stopper tubes (EDTA)
  • Gray stopper tubes (potassium
    oxalate/sodium fluoride)
  • Yellow/gray or orange stopper tubes
    (thrombin clot activator)
18
Q

often preferred over an evacuated tube system when drawing blood from patients with small or fragile veins.

A

Syringes

19
Q

One of the advantages of using a syringe when drawing blood is the phlebotomist is able to control the suction pressure on the vein by slowly withdrawing the syringe plunger. True or False

A

True

20
Q

The procedure of venipuncture using ETS is the same as venipuncture by syringe. True or False

A

True

21
Q

It is important to verify if the patient has fasted, has allergies to latex, or has had previous problems with venipuncture. True or False

A

True

22
Q

The tourniquet is applied 4 to 5

inches above the antecubital fossa. True or False

A

FALSE - 3 TO 4

23
Q

It is important to palpate the area in a vertical and horizontal direction to locate a large vein and to determine the depth, direction, and size. True or False

A

True

24
Q

The vein of choice before the cephalic vein

A

median cubital

25
Q

Clean the site with 70 percent isopropyl alcohol in concentric circles moving inward and allow it to air dry. True or False

A

False - it should be outward motion

26
Q

The patient should be instructed not to “pump” or “continuously clench” the fist to prevent hematoma. True or False

A

False - to prevent hemoconcentration

27
Q

Anchor the vein by placing the thumb of the non-dominant hand 1 to 2 inches below the site and pulling the skin taut. True or False

A

True

28
Q

Smoothly insert the needle into the vein at a 10-to15-degree angle with the bevel up until you feel a lessening of resistance. True or False

A

False - 15-to-30-degree

29
Q

Remove the tube first before removing the needle. True or False

A

True
