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…arrow_forward2. Gamma-hemolysis on a blood agar plate would likely appear: Select one: a.
