A phlebotomist, named Toru, is sent to the Emergency Room to collect an EDTA specimen for a stat type and crossmatch (pink or lavender tube) on an accident victim. He properly identifies the patient and is in the process of filling the lavender-top tube when an ER nurse tells him that the patient's physician wants to add a stat set of electrolytes for Chemistry Department to the test order. Jake acknowledges her request. He finishes filling the lavender top and grabs a green top. After completing the draw, he takes the specimens straight to the laboratory to be processed immediately. 96. One of the specimens that Jake drew is compromised. Which one is it? Your answer 97. Why is the specimen compromised and how may test results be affected? points) Your answer 98. How could Toru have avoided the problem without drawing blood from the patient twice?
