and CORRECT Answers
fomite non-living surface that has been contaminated and can result in an indirect
infection with living beings
infection Contamination or invasion of body tissue by pathogenic organisms
virulence degree of pathogenicity
, standard precautions A strict form of infection control that is based on the assumption that all blood
and other body fluids have the potential to cause infection
laboratory acquired infections infections inadvertantly acquired by specimens in the lab (note: not really from a
fomite)
order of draw 1. Yellow, 2. Light Blue, 3. Red, 4. Gold, Tiger Top, Red/Yellow/Black, 5. Green, Light
Green, Green/Gray, 6. Purple/Lavender, 7. white, 8. Gray
yellow tube Blood Cultures
SPS
light blue tube sodium citrate
red tube no additive
gold tube SST clot activator ; separation gel
green tube Heparin
lavender tube EDTA
white tube K2EDTA with gel
gray tube sodium fluoride and potassium oxalate
light blue tests PT (prothrombin time), Fibrin Split, Fibrinogen, PTT (Partial Thromboplastin Time),
Fibrin Degredation, Thrombin Time
Red tube Tests (common) serum tests, chemistry studies, serology, blood bank
Gold Tube Tests (common) Serology, endocrine, immunology, including HIV
Green tube Tests (common) Contains anticoagulant Heparin. Blood gas determinations and pH assays
Lavender Tube Common Test CBC (Complete Blood Count); RBC count, WBC count & platelet count; WBC
differential count; Hemoglobin & Hematocrit determinations; ESR (erythrocyte
sedimentation rate); sickle cell screening
White tube molecular diagnostics, plasma based testing performed on proteins
Gray tube Tests (common) lactic acid meas. Glucose tolerance test (gtt) fading blood sugar, blood alcohol
level
CBC Complete Blood Count (bloodwork to look for infection or anemia)
PTT (partial thromboplastin time) evaluates: evaluates intrinsic pathway and common pathway
normal is 30 - 40 seconds
monitors Heparin therapy
