Phlebotomy Simplified links the novice phlebotomist to simplified, basic information, techniques, skills, and equipment for the provision of safe and effective blood collection procedures. It also provides introductory competencies, including communication, clinical, technical, and safety skills that any health care worker will use for the "entry-level" practice of phlebotomy. This text is designed for beginning health care students and practitioners who are responsible for blood and specimen collections.
Colorful photographs show procedural steps and equipment.
Case studies encourage problem solving.
Equipment chapter emphasizes the most recent safety features of phlebotomy supplies and equipment.
Medical terminology section and glossary terms are critical to effective communication.
Self-assessment exercises help the phlebotomist acclimate to the health care environment.
Clinical alert symbols indicate procedures or concepts that have vitally important clinical consequences for the patient. The clinical alert indicates that “extra caution” should be taken by the health care worker to comply with the procedure, thereby avoiding adverse outcomes for the patient.
Step-by-step procedural information is presented using an “on the job” perspective.
Key terms, objectives, and study questions are provided for each chapter.
A color chart of types of blood collection tubes relates appropriate color codings with additives.
