1. Gather all the necessary materials and ensure they are sterile: To start, you will need a blood specimen collection tube, a needle, alcohol swabs, adhesive bandages, and a biohazard bag. Make sure all the materials are clean and sterile to avoid contamination.
2. Identify the patient: Before collecting a blood specimen, verify the patient's identity to ensure accuracy. Ask the patient to state their full name and date of birth, cross-checking it with their identification bracelet or medical records.
3. Prepare the patient: Ensure that the patient is in a comfortable position with their arm extended and palm facing up. Inform them about the procedure and put them at ease, especially if they are anxious.
4. Locate the vein: Using your fingers, feel for a suitable vein in the patient's arm. Usually, the median cubital vein is the preferred choice for blood collection. Clean the area near the selected vein with an alcohol swab.

6. Put on gloves: Ensure you are wearing disposable gloves before proceeding further. This prevents any potential transmission of infections between the patient and yourself.
7. Prepare the collection tube: Take the blood collection tube and remove the cap. Be cautious not to touch the inside of the cap or the tube itself to maintain sterility.
8. Insert the needle and collect the blood: Holding the collection tube at a slight angle, carefully insert the needle into the vein. Once properly inserted, you should observe the blood flowing into the tube. Fill the required amount of blood as per the specific test requirements.
9. Remove the tourniquet and withdraw the needle: Release the tourniquet and remove it from the patient's arm. Slowly withdraw the needle from the vein, applying gentle pressure to the puncture site with sterile gauze or a cotton ball.
10. Dispose of the needle and secure the sample: Place the used needle into a sharps container to ensure safe disposal. Cap the blood collection tube securely, and if necessary, invert it gently a few times to mix any additives present.
