CASE 2 Napa Callandy, a Med Tech intern, performed a venipuncture procedure to her patient Lantud Quaren Uy, for CBC and Electrolytes. She entered the patient's room without knocking but with a big smile, greeted the patient, and proceeded to the bedside. She arranged and prepared her venipuncture materials and then labeled the tubes with Maja Rotica. After selecting the vein for puncture, she wiped the site with alcohol then air-dried. She tied the tourniquet 5 inches above the site and puncture the vein. Upon inserting the needle, there was no backflow. With confidence she pulled the needle and pushed again, but still failed to hit the vein. After 5 minutes of pulling and pushing, finally she got collected enough sample for two tubes, and released the tourniquet. She transferred the blood to the lavender top, then to the red top. Upon arriving at the laboratory, she realized she was not able to invert the tubes. And the samples were rejected by her staff.

CASE 2
Napa Callandy, a Med Tech intern, performed a venipuncture procedure to her patient Lantud Quaren
Uy, for CBC and Electrolytes. She entered the patient's room without knocking but with a big smile, greeted
the patient, and proceeded to the bedside. She arranged and prepared her venipuncture materials and then
labeled the tubes with Maja Rotica. After selecting the vein for puncture, she wiped the site with alcohol then
air-dried. She tied the tourniquet 5 inches above the site and puncture the vein. Upon inserting the needle,
there was no backflow. With confidence she pulled the needle and pushed again, but still failed to hit the
vein. After 5 minutes of pulling and pushing, finally she got collected enough sample for two tubes, and
released the tourniquet. She transferred the blood to the lavender top, then to the red top. Upon arriving at
the laboratory, she realized she was not able to invert the tubes. And the samples were rejected by her staff.

97. If you would redo Napa's actions, which of the following would you NOT
do?
A. Knock on the patient's door before entering.
O B. Introduce self to the patient.
C. Explain the procedure to the patient.
O D. Label the specimen prior to the venipuncture.
