A doctor requires an ICU patient, Jessica Cabreros, to be tested for potassium, platelet count, and Coagulation test: "Prothrombin time". The nurse calls the laboratory and the phlebotomist, Jim, is asked to extract blood from Jessica. Upon entering the ICU, Jim verifies to the nurse in charge about the tests done to the patient written on the requisition form. No part of Jessica's body is edematous, but she is unconscious, intubated, and with IV lines on both left and right hands. Jim is required to extract a total of 8.5-ml blood sample (3ml for potassium test, 3 ml for platelet count, and 2.5 ml for coagulation test), but only extracts a total of 7 ml from the right foot using the syringe method since hematoma started to appear on the site of extraction. So he dispenses the first 3 ml of blood extracted into the tube for potassium determination using a transfer device then another 3 ml into the tube for platelet count, mixes them accordingly and labels them with Jessica's complete name, age, gender and time of extraction. He decides to extract again notifying the nurse, now from the left foot an additional 3 ml of blood using another syringe after not being able to obtain the right amount of blood on the right foot for one time extraction. He dispenses 2.5 ml of blood sample into the appropriate evacuated tube for Prothrombin time coagulation test, inverts the tube accordingly and labels it with the same details as the previous tubes. After extraction, Jim tells the nurse that the phlebotomy procedure is done and is ready to be brought to the lab for testing. Your answer 94. What evacuated tube color is/are appropriate for the tests requested? NOTE: Wrong or missing answers will be given no points. A. Red B. Black C. Light blue D. Lavender E. Yellow F. Gray

Question
Transcribed Image Text:95. Is there any specimen for testing that may have been affected or
compromised? If yes, choose which test/s is/are affected or compromised
given the case? If none, choose None. (
A. Potassium
B. Platelet count
C. Prothrombin time
D. None
96. If your answer is "Yes" from the previous question, why do you think
this test (these tests) is/are affected and what should have Jim done to
avoid compromising the specimen? If you answered otherwise, explain
why no test is affected or compromised. Explain in 2-3 sentences only.
NOTE: Wrong answer in question "No. 95" will automatically invalidate
your answer in question "No. 96".

CASE 1
A doctor requires an ICU patient, Jessica Cabreros, to be tested for potassium, platelet count, and
Coagulation test: "Prothrombin time". The nurse calls the laboratory and the phlebotomist, Jim, is asked to
extract blood from Jessica.
Upon entering the ICU, Jim verifies to the nurse in charge about the tests done to the patient written on
the requisition form. No part of Jessica's body is edematous, but she is unconscious, intubated, and with IV
lines on both left and right hands. Jim is required to extract a total of 8.5-ml blood sample (3ml for potassium
test, 3 ml for platelet count, and 2.5 ml for coagulation test), but only extracts a total of 7 ml from the right
foot using the syringe method since hematoma started to appear on the site of extraction. So he dispenses
the first 3 ml of blood extracted into the tube for potassium determination using a transfer device then
another 3 ml into the tube for platelet count, mixes them accordingly and labels them with Jessica's complete
name, age, gender and time of extraction. He decides to extract again notifying the nurse, now from the left
foot an additional 3 ml of blood using another syringe after not being able to obtain the right amount of
blood on the right foot for one time extraction. He dispenses 2.5 ml of blood sample into the appropriate
evacuated tube for Prothrombin time coagulation test, inverts the tube accordingly and labels it with the
same details as the previous tubes. After extraction, Jim tells the nurse that the phlebotomy procedure is
done and is ready to be brought to the lab for testing.
