Question 1: Order of Draw List - Capillary Puncture

Answer:

1) Lavender and slides 2) Green 3) Gray 4) Red

Question 2: Calcaneous

Answer:

Bone in foot to avoid when performing dermal punctures

Question 3: Why would you choose a dermal puncture over venipuncture?

Answer:

If only a small amount of blood is needed.Using capillary blood

Question 4: Green Top Tube

Answer:

Anticoagulant Sodium Heparin, lithium heparin or ammonium heparin. Heparin stopping blood from clotting by inactivating thrombin and thromboplastin.Used on STAT chemistry procedures and ammonia levels (on ice)

Question 5: Grey Top Tube

Answer:

Anticoagulant= potassium oxalate which binds Calcium. Glycotic inhibitor = sodium flouride = prevents metabolism of glucose by RBCs. Goes to Chemistry.Used for glucose and Blood alcohol testing.

Question 6: What patients would you perform dermal puncture on?

Answer:

Children under 2 years of age, severe burn patients, chemotherapy patients, older patients, for glucose monitoring

Question 7: Hematology

Answer:

"Study of blood" looks at shape and number of cells Used Lavender EDTA tubes for this since they don't clot. CBC, H&H

Question 8: Yellow Top Tube

Answer:

Sterile - used for blood cultures. Goes to microbiology. Contains SPS and ACD.Use sterile gloves to prevent contamination and clean with Providine or Betadine.

Question 9: Chemistry

Answer:

Basically all other test. Where order of draw is very important.

Ex of tests: glucose, Ca, Na, Cholesterol, Bilirubin, Myoglobin, CMP, BMP

STAT tests in Grey top tube, Royal blue top tube for heavy metals, SST tubes

Question 10: Lavender Top Tube

Answer:

EDTA, Ethylene-diaminetetracetic acid, will not clot. Binds to Calcium in order to keep blood from clotting.Used for Hematology testing.

Common tests: CBC, Hemoglobin A1C, bilirubin.

Question 11: Light Blue Top Tube

Answer:

Anticoagulant Sodium Citrate, binds with Calcium in order to keep blood from clotting. Must fill

completely in order to get 1:9 ratio

Used for coagulation tests.

Common test: PT, APTT, PTT, INR.

Question 12: Hemolysis

Answer:

Destruction of red blood cells, avoid by choose correct needle/tube size.Common causes: leaving the tourniquet on longer than 1 minute, shaking the tubes, not allowing the tubes to clot before spinning or patient fist pumping

Question 13: Immunhematology

Answer:

Blood bank - looks at blood typing, ABO Rh, and transfusions Plain red or pink tube

Question 14: Hematocrit

Answer:

collected to see percentage of packed Red Blood Cells

Question 15: Light Green Top tube

Answer:

PST- plasma separator tube.

Question 16: Red Top Tube

Answer:

Can be glass or plastic. Glass used for blood banking and drug tests.NO Anticoagulant, WILL CLOT.Used for Chemistry Tests

Question 17: Microbiology

Answer:

Sending specimen to see if anything grows on petri dish.STERILE YELLOW top tube.

Question 18: Royal Blue Top Tube

Answer:

Used for Heavy Metal Testing

Question 19: SST

Answer:

Thixotropic gel, will clot. Serum Separator tube, Tiger, red/grey marble, gold.Used for Chemistry Test. Clots faster due to clot activator.

Question 20: Coagulation

Answer:

Tests for clotting factors. Test: (PT)/INR, PTT

Light blue top tubes.

Question 21: Dermal puncture maximum depth?

Answer:

2mm

Question 22: Common blood thinners?

Answer:

Coumadin or warafin. Should not be aspirin regiment and will have blood drawn every 2 weeks to check levels. (Lt blue tubes)

Question 23: Which fingers should you use for capillary punctures?

Answer:

Digits 3-4

Question 24: What do you after piercing skin with lancet?

Answer:

Wipe away the first drop of blood
