Question
Hi class,
The order of draw is important because it prevents and cross contamination from happening in between tubes. Doing so ensures that the test results are as accurate as possible. The correct order of draw for the tests that were ordered are pro-time (light blue top), TSH ( gold/redtop), complete blood count (lavender top), and lastly is A1C (gray top). The area that would be used for the blood draw is the antecubital fossa, it’s located in the inner elbow. the technique used would be washing hands and putting on gloves, gathering necessary equipment, applying tourniquet, cleaning the area, inserting. Needle at an angle, collect tubes in order, take out needle and apply pressure, label tubes.
Hello class

Hello everyone,
Thank you for your insightful posts! I completely agree that the order of draw is crucial in preventing cross-contamination and ensuring the accuracy of our test results. It’s also important to note the significance of labeling the tubes correctly by patient to avoid any mix-ups.
In addition, I'd like to emphasize the importance of proper technique during phlebotomy. For exemple, the angle at which we insert the needle can significantly affect the ease of blood collection and the patient's comfort. Additionally, after the draw, we should always ensure that the puncture site is appropriately cared for to prevent any complications.
Also, I think it's worth mentioning the importance of patient communication throughout the process. Explaining to the patient what will happen during the blood draw can help them feel more at ease.
Thanks again for your contributions!
