How to fill out 6 performing a blood

1. To fill out 6 performing a blood, you will need to gather the necessary equipment and supplies, including a blood collection tube, a needle, alcohol wipes, gloves, and a requisition form.
2. Start by washing your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water. This step is crucial to maintain cleanliness and prevent the risk of contamination.
3. Put on a pair of disposable gloves to ensure the procedure is hygienic and to protect yourself and the patient from potential infections.
4. Identify the patient by confirming their name and verifying the requisition form to ensure that you have the correct patient information.
5. Choose the appropriate blood collection tube for the specific tests being ordered. The tubes are color-coded and each color represents a different additive or test.
6. Locate a suitable vein in the patient's arm. The antecubital vein, located on the inner side of the elbow, is commonly used for blood collection. Clean the area with an alcohol wipe and allow it to air-dry.
7. Apply a tourniquet a few inches above the intended puncture site to help visualize and access the vein. Ensure it is not too tight to cause discomfort but tight enough to impede venous blood flow.
8. Prepare the needle by removing the cap and attaching it to the blood collection tube. Be careful not to touch the needle or allow it to come into contact with any surfaces to maintain sterility.
9. Ask the patient to open and close their hand a few times to help engorge the vein, making it easier for venipuncture.
10. Hold the needle at a shallow angle (15-30 degrees) and smoothly insert it into the vein. Confirm that you have successfully accessed the vein by observing a flashback of blood into the needle's hub.
11. Once the blood begins to flow, adjust the needle's position slightly and hold the blood collection tube firmly in place to fill it with the required amount of blood indicated on the tube.
12. Remove the tourniquet and carefully withdraw the needle from the patient's arm, quickly applying gentle pressure to the puncture site with a clean cotton ball or gauze pad.
13. Dispose of the used materials appropriately, following standard biohazard protocols. Place the needle and other sharps in a sharps container and discard other items in biohazard bags or containers.
14. Label the blood collection tube accurately with the patient's name, date and time of collection, and your initials.
15. Finally, ensure the requisition form is completed accurately with all necessary information, including the tests requested, patient details, and any special instructions.
