Quiz zum Vortrag
Which of the following procedures is a phlebotomist permitted to perform?
- Drawing blood from a properly identified patient using appropriate venipuncture techniques
- Starting an intravenous (IV) line for medication administration
- Drawing blood samples from an existing central line
- Removing an IV line after medication administration is complete
- Collecting blood samples directly from a PICC line
Why should phlebotomists avoid drawing blood from a restricted limb?
- It could provide inaccurate results and poses increased risk of complications like infection or injury
- It is only restricted during certain hours of the day when other procedures are scheduled
- The restriction is only a suggestion and can be overridden with patient consent
- Restricted limbs are only applicable to pediatric patients, not adults
- The restriction only applies to venipuncture but not to capillary blood collection
What is the best practice for verifying patient identity before performing phlebotomy?
- Having the patient state their legal first and last name and date of birth, then checking against the orders
- Asking the patient if they are the person scheduled for a blood draw
- Relying on room numbers to determine patient identity in hospital settings
- Checking only the patient's first name to avoid privacy concerns
- Assuming identity is correct if the patient responds to their name being called
