National Phlebotomy Certification Latest
2023 Graded A
hematuria ✔✔blood in urine
winged infusion set ✔✔butterfly
ESR ✔✔Erythrocyte sedimentation rate
test performed in purple-EDTA tube
hematoma ✔✔bruising under skin and common complication from venipuncture procedures
light blue tube ✔✔sodium citrate
PT, PTT activated partial thromboplastin time, coagulation studies
yields plasma
*absolutely requires full draw*
EDTA ✔✔Purple tube - CBC, glycosylated HGB, ESR must be 80% or 2/3 full
Redraw immediately ✔✔if you realize that you have drawn tube from wrong patient, or you
have drawn wrong color tube on patient
edema ✔✔fluid tissues
phlebitis ✔✔inflammation of vein from repeated venipuncture
green top ✔✔Lithium or Sodium Heparin
Stat chems, ammonia level (keep on ice), electrolytes
yield is plasma
blood borne ✔✔infection transmitted by body fluid
cleansing arm ✔✔concentric motion, using an outward spiral
blood smear ✔✔for CBC with differential, goal is to get good feathered edge
endothelial ✔✔inner layer of blood vessel
hepatitis B virus ✔✔OSHA requires that all healthcare workers get vaccinated against this
capillaries ✔✔run into the veins and back to the heart
accession number ✔✔a unique tracking number for each specimen
BBP ✔✔blood borne pathogen
prevention of accidental needle sticks ✔✔Use of needle safety devices manufactured to cover
the exposed needle. never recap. never cut needle. expose of in sharps container intact.
quality assurance ✔✔a QA program is a continuous program, established by the healthcare
facility which will provide guidelines, protocols, and continuing education for their employees
30-60 minutes ✔✔the time it takes for a clot or plain tube to clot prior to centrifugation
nothing to eat or drink for 12 hours ✔✔body in basal state, fasting, NPO, nothing by mouth
proper order for finishing up venipuncture ✔✔remove tourniquet, remove tube, remove needle,
check site and have patient apply pressure for 3 to 5 minutes
median cubital vein ✔✔most common vein used in venipuncture
latex sensitivity ✔✔allergic to latex
formed elements ✔✔platelets, RBCs, WBCs = 45%, Plasma = 55%
patient confidentiality ✔✔patient gives rights to authorize use of his/her information
negligence ✔✔failure to give appropriate care to patient
CCMS ✔✔urine collection is called Clean Catch Mid Stream. used especially when need to
culture urine sample to check for urinary tract infection
chemistry department ✔✔runs test on serum and plasma including chemistries, enzyme levels,
and hormones
pregnancy tests and therapeutic drug monitoring
pathogens ✔✔microorganisms that cause disease
aspirin ✔✔blood thinner and will increase bleeding times, PT and PTT
blood cultures and ESR ✔✔tests that cannot be collected from capillary punctures or in capillary
tubes because require too much volume
eosinophils ✔✔included with CBC and counted on differential, elevated in allergies and
parasitic infections
decline medical treatment ✔✔patient has the right under the patient's bill of rights
thrombocytes ✔✔platelets - clotting or repairing vessels
warming site ✔✔increases blood flow 7x
common blood culture contamination ✔✔improper technique due to skin preparation
cyanosis ✔✔lack of oxygen and skin appears blue
sclerosed ✔✔veins are cord-like due to plaque build-up or other condition
multisample needles ✔✔needles used in class because they are able to draw multi tubes vs one
tube
fomite ✔✔inanimate objects that transmit disease i.e bed linens
inversion of anticoagulated tube ✔✔8 times
prevention of hematoma ✔✔pressure at site
pink tube ✔✔same as purple tube, but created for blood banks
additive is EDTA
liters of blood found in adult ✔✔5-6 liters
tourniquet ✔✔placed 3-4 inches above antecubital fossa, remain on no longer than 1 minute,
enlarges veins so you can see them better.
hemolysis or hemolyzed ✔✔destruction of RBCs, makes plasma or serum appear pink, get from
traumatic draw, using too small of a needle, alcohol residue or squeezing finger too hard in
capillary puncture
obese patient draw ✔✔best area will be the cephalic instead of median cubital
CBC ✔✔Complete Blood Count
RBC, WBC, platelet, HGB, HCT, and differential
proper order for CBC, PT, ammonia, Cardiac Enzymes is: ✔✔1. Light Blue
2. red/red marble
3. green
4. lavender
capillary tubes ✔✔used to collect blood from skin puncture
lipemic specimen ✔✔serum with milky appearance because of too much fat or triglyceride
informed consent ✔✔giving patient information and risks regarding the procedure
accidental needle poke ✔✔wash area with lots of soapy water, encourage bleeding and notify
supervisor
CDC ✔✔Center for Disease Control and Prevention
Petechiae ✔✔Red splotches on skin because capillaries can rupture if tourniquet left on too long
best way to ID patient prior to venipuncture ✔✔ask them to state their full name
venipuncture refusal ✔✔report refusal to physician or nurse
IV line ✔✔draw from other arm
assault ✔✔attempting harm to someone
battery ✔✔harming someone with intentional purpose
C&S ✔✔Culture and Sensitivity of a bacterial organism. Performed in Microbiology Dept. along
with parasitology
Specimen for arterial blood gases ✔✔arterial blood
royal blue tube ✔✔Trace elements: lead, Mercury, Arsenic
Hypoglycemia ✔✔low blood sugar
neutrophils ✔✔performs phagocytosis, increased in bacterial infections
evacuated tubes ✔✔made to pull in predetermined amount of blood. most efficient and effective
way to collect blood specimen. will lose vacuum with time
profile ✔✔group of tests drawn as one test, i.e. lipid profile, comprehensive metabolic panel,
hepatic panel
syncope ✔✔fainting, when a patient starts to faint, remove needle and finish draw quickly
blood cultures ✔✔first in order of draw, test blood for microorganisms or septicemia
oncology department ✔✔cancer patients
Newborn Screening Specimen ✔✔Newborn's heel
Gray top ✔✔Addititve is Potassium Oxalate or Sodium Flouride, an antiglycolytic agent that
