Q

The tubes are designed to fit with a predetermined volume of blood by vacuum. The rubber stoppers are color-coded according to the additive that the tube
contains. Various sizes are available. Blood should NEVER be poured from one tube to another
since the tubes can have different additives or coatings

Q

Patient’s Bill of Rights has been adopted by many hospitals as declared by the ____________

A

Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO

19
Q

most frequently used site for venipuncture

A

median cubital and cephalic veins

20
Q

last resort for venipuncture

A

FOOT VEINS

21
Q

it is difficult to puncture the scar tissue and obtain a
specimen.

A

Extensive scars from burns and surgery

22
Q

test results may be affected because of lymphedema.

A

upper extremity on the side of a previous mastectomy

23
Q

fluid may dilute the specimen, so collect from the opposite arm if possible

A

Intravenous therapy (IV) / blood transfusions

24
Q

blood should not be drawn from an arm with a fistula or cannula without ?

A

consulting the attending physician

25
Q

tissue fluid accumulation alters test results.

A

Edematous extremities

26
Q

may cause erroneous test results.

A

Hematoma

27
Q

An increased concentration of larger molecules and formed elements in the blood

A

Hemoconcentration

28
Q

________________are body fluid and analyte fluctuations during the day

A

Diurnal Rhythms:

29
Q

Areas to be avoided when performing venipuncture and the reasons for the restrictions

A
  • Burns, Scars, and Tattoos
  • Damaged Veins
  • Edema
  • Hematoma
  • Mastectomy
  • Vascular Access Devices (arterial line, Arteriovenous (AV) shunt or fistula, Heparin or saline lock, Intravenous line, Central Vascular Access Device (CVAD) or indwelling line)
30
Q

may be difficult to palpate and draw from, and the areas are have impaired circulation that can affect
test results

A

Burns, Scars, and Tattoos

31
Q

Sclerosed (hardened) or thrombosed (clotted) veins re-occluded (obstructed) they feel hard and cordlike, lacking resiliency. They are difficult to puncture, have impaired blood flow that leads to erroneous results and should be avoided

A

Damaged Veins

32
Q

swelling caused by the abnormal accumulation of fluid in the tissues, makes veins harder to locate.

A

EDEMA

33
Q

A swelling or mass of blood that escaped from a vein during or following venipuncture

A

Hematoma

34
Q

Mastectomy: A patient’s physician should be consulted before drawing, blood from an arm on
the same side as the mastectomy. Lymph node removal, typically part of the procedure can
cause

A

lymphostasis

35
Q

most common way to collect blood specimens

A

Venipuncture

36
Q

Venipuncture three basic methods

A

– evacuated tube system (ETS), needle and syringe, and winged infusion set (butterfly).

37
Q

the preferred method because blood is collected directly from the vein into a tube, minimizing the risk of specimen contamination and exposure to the blood.

A

Evacuated tube system (ETS)
