PMLS 2 Laboratory Worksheet Venipuncture by Syringe

This document contains a laboratory worksheet with questions about proper procedures when drawing blood from patients. It asks how to respond to a fearful patient, what to do if patient ID bands do not match, whether it's appropriate to draw blood from an IV site, and if an unlabeled tube should be labeled with extra information. The key is to use empathy with patients, verify patient ID, avoid IV draw sites, and not label tubes without being certain of the patient identity.

Name: Score: Section: Date:

1. Using your best interpersonal skills, how would you respond to a patient who says she does not want
her blood drawn because all phlebotomists hurt her?

2. You have been given an order to draw patient Jane Smith in room 2232. When you go into that room,
the patient identifies herself as Jane Smith but the armband indicates that the patient is Jane Smiley.
What do you do next?
3. The physician is in the room when you go in to draw blood. The patient has an IV in the right forearm,
and the left arm is inaccessible. You need to draw a blood glucose. The physician says that you can go
ahead and draw the blood from the median cubital vein of the right arm because all that is running in
the IV is saline. What do you do?
4. You come back to the laboratory with a tube of blood and notice that the tube does not have a label
on it. You have one extra label for a patient from whom you were supposed to collect. Do you use the
label for this extra tube?
