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.

Larry is a CST working in the general surgery unit of an urban OR. He and Dr. Hobart are finishing a case where a known IV drug user suffered a gunshot wound to the abdomen. While Larry was counting instruments with the circulator, Dr. Hobart tossed a loaded needed holder back onto the Mayo stand without informing Larry. As he turned around, the bloody needle penetrated Larry’s single glove and punctured his skin. Larry immediately reported the needle-stick injury to the circulator, who removed his glove and helped him assess the wound while paging for a replacement CST. After being relieved at the field, Larry washed the wound with soap and water. Because occupational health was closed at this hour, Larry reported to the emergency department for treatment, and then filed all appropriate reports. What should be done with the needle and the needle holder that have become contaminated by piercing Larry’s glove and skin?

A phlebotomist is called to the ER to draw a STAT hct, hgb, and plt ct on a young girl who appears extremely pale and very close to being unconscious. While checking for a good puncture site, the phlebotomist notes the “M” pattern of veins on both arms but really can’t feel the veins that well. After reapplying the tourniquet and making it a bit tighter, the vein in the middle of the AC on the right arm becomes palpable, but when entered, the blood slowly drips into the tube. After the tube is filled, the phlebotomist applies pressure to the puncture site and makes a point of holding it longer than usual before applying a new gauze and tape. While waiting, she overhears the nurse say that the patient’s BP is 80/50, and her pulse is weak. The mother says her daughter had a nose bleed that lasted almost all night. Ready to go back to the laboratory, the phlebotomist checks the puncture site again and sees that the bleeding has not stopped. The ER tech continues to put pressure on the…
