- Drawing blood was Kara’s favorite skill she learned in clinical medical assistant school. She is pleased that Greenland Family Care Clinic draws lab work onsite rather than sending patients to an outpatient laboratory for phlebotomy procedures. Lindsay reviewed all of the procedures with her before she left on vacation, knowing that Kara would have the opportunity to perform phlebotomy on several patients. Dr. Dean has ordered lab tests on Mr. Jose M. Garcia, and Kara will need to draw his blood. This is her first “real” patient since completing her externship, and she is a little nervous. Kara looks at the lab requisition form and learns Dr. Dean has ordered a CBC with Diff, Serum Fasting Glucose, and Basic Metabolic Panel.
