NEW QUESTION # 91
Which of the following actions should the phlebotomist take when labelling inpatient specimens?
Answer: B
Explanation:
For inpatient specimens, the phlebotomist should label the specimen collection container immediately after collection using the patient's wristband information as the identification source. The key control is bedside labeling in the presence of the patient, after positive identification and collection, so the specimen is tied to the correct patient before it leaves the room. Labeling the lid is unsafe because lids can be removed, switched, or separated from the specimen. Having the patient write demographic information is not an acceptable patient-identification process and does not satisfy laboratory labeling requirements. Provider pre-labeling is also unsafe because it creates a risk of wrong-patient collection if the container is later used for another patient or if identification is not verified at collection. Correct labeling usually includes patient name, second identifier, date and time of collection, collector identity, and any facility-required information. The NHA CPT outline specifically includes patient identifiers, labeling procedures and requirements, documentation, and the task of labeling all specimens. Reference topics: Routine Blood Collections; patient identification; specimen labeling; documentation requirements.
NEW QUESTION # 92
Which of the following can cause a preanalytic error for serum bilirubin?
Answer: C
Explanation:
Light exposure can cause a preanalytic error for serum bilirubin because bilirubin is light-sensitive. If a bilirubin specimen is exposed to light for too long, photodegradation can occur, leading to falsely decreased bilirubin results. This is why bilirubin specimens are commonly protected from light by using an amber container or wrapping the specimen in foil according to facility procedure. "Population" is not a specimen-handling variable that directly causes bilirubin degradation. "Pollutants" is too vague and does not identify the specific preanalytical issue tested here. "Location" may matter for collection site selection in some contexts, but it is not the classic handling error for bilirubin. The phlebotomist must know which specimens require special handling for light, temperature, time, transport, and processing. Failure to protect light-sensitive analytes can compromise specimen integrity before testing even begins, producing inaccurate laboratory results despite correct venipuncture technique. The NHA CPT outline directly includes maintaining specimen integrity based on handling requirements such as temperature, light, and time, as well as recognizing the impact of preanalytical errors on test results. Reference topics: Processing Specimens; bilirubin handling; light protection; preanalytical error.
NEW QUESTION # 93
Which of the following agencies enforces workplace standards related to bloodborne pathogens?
Answer: B
Explanation:
OSHA enforces workplace standards related to bloodborne pathogens. In phlebotomy, OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens Standard is central because technicians routinely handle blood, sharps, contaminated equipment, and potentially infectious materials. OSHA requirements support exposure-control plans, engineering controls, sharps safety, PPE, hepatitis B vaccination access, training, and post-exposure follow-up. The FDA regulates drugs, biologics, and medical devices, but it does not enforce employer bloodborne pathogen workplace standards in the same way OSHA does. CMS administers Medicare and Medicaid and oversees certain healthcare quality and laboratory-related regulatory structures, but it is not the primary workplace bloodborne pathogen enforcement agency. DEA regulates controlled substances, which is unrelated to routine phlebotomy safety. A phlebotomist does not need to be a legal scholar, but they must know which agencies govern common safety and compliance issues. This knowledge supports correct behavior during needlesticks, sharps disposal, PPE use, exposure reporting, and infection-control practice. Reference topics: Safety and Compliance; OSHA; bloodborne pathogens; exposure-control plan; workplace safety.
NEW QUESTION # 94
Which of the following situations increases a phlebotomist's risk for a needlestick?
Answer: A
Explanation:
A nearly full sharps container increases the risk for a needlestick because contaminated needles or other sharps may protrude, rebound, or be difficult to place safely into the container. Sharps containers must be puncture-resistant, leak-resistant, properly labeled or color-coded, kept upright, and replaced before they become overfilled. OSHA specifically warns not to allow sharps containers to overfill and requires routine replacement to reduce sharps injury risk. A tight tourniquet can cause patient discomfort, hemoconcentration, or venous obstruction, but it is not the best answer for needlestick risk. A 22-gauge needle is commonly used for routine venipuncture, especially for smaller veins, and is not inherently unsafe. A transfer device used with the syringe method is actually a safety control because it prevents the phlebotomist from manually pushing blood through a needle into evacuated tubes. NHA CPT safety content includes bloodborne pathogens, sharps safety, OSHA standards, exposure control, and safe disposal of contaminated equipment. Reference topics: Safety and Compliance; OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard; sharps disposal; needlestick prevention.
NEW QUESTION # 95
A patient starts convulsing during a blood collection. Which of the following actions should the phlebotomist take?
Answer: C
Explanation:
If a patient begins convulsing during blood collection, the phlebotomist's priority is patient safety and prevention of injury. From the choices provided, allowing the patient's limbs to move freely is correct because the phlebotomist should not restrain the patient during a seizure. Restraining can cause musculoskeletal injury and does not stop the seizure. In actual procedure, the phlebotomist should immediately stop the draw when safe, remove the tourniquet and needle, activate the safety device, call for help, protect the patient from surrounding hazards, and follow emergency protocol. Continuing the collection is unsafe because seizure activity can cause needle movement, vein trauma, needlestick exposure, and specimen compromise. A cold compress is more relevant to swelling, bruising, or selected local complications, not active convulsions. Orange juice may be appropriate only for a conscious patient with suspected hypoglycemia who can swallow safely; it is unsafe during convulsions. The NHA CPT outline includes recognizing seizures and other complications during routine blood collection, discontinuing the draw if needed, emergency response, and first aid. Reference topics: Safety and Compliance; Routine Blood Collections; seizure response; emergency care during collection.
