    Correct version:<\/strong> Phenylketonuria is an inherited genetic<\/strong> disorder.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  10. False word(s):<\/strong> each side<\/em>
    Correct word(s):<\/strong> one side<\/strong>
    Correct version:<\/strong> Blood spot circles for newborn screening tests are filled by applying a large drop of free-flowing blood to one side<\/strong> of the filter paper.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Explanation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    Capillary blood collection is vital in pediatric and special care patients when venipuncture is impractical. Each statement in this drill highlights common misconceptions. For instance, microtubes<\/strong> are indeed nicknamed bullets<\/em> due to their shape. Warming the site improves microcirculation, though only up to seven times<\/strong>, not ten. Capillary puncture is often preferred when venous access is limited or preserved for more invasive procedures like chemotherapy<\/strong> rather than tests like glucose tolerance, which actually require venous samples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Contrary to belief, glucose testing (besides POCT) can<\/strong> be done with capillary blood, especially in home care or fingerstick settings. The order of draw in capillary punctures differs from venous\u2014blood gases<\/strong> are collected first, not chemistry specimens, to preserve analyte integrity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    The CLSI<\/strong> (Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute) recommends using the nondominant hand\u2019s<\/strong> ring or middle finger for capillary collection, to reduce discomfort. Heel sticks, commonly used in infants, should target the medial or lateral plantar surfaces<\/strong> to avoid nerve or bone damage\u2014not<\/strong> referencing transportation safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Specimens like bilirubin<\/strong> must be shielded from light to prevent breakdown, not cooled. PKU (Phenylketonuria) is not<\/strong> temporary; it’s a genetic metabolic disorder<\/strong> that, if untreated, leads to intellectual disability. Finally, neonatal screening cards must be filled on one side only<\/strong> to ensure proper saturation and prevent inaccurate test results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Understanding these distinctions ensures accurate specimen collection, test reliability, and patient safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
