HARTMAN'S PHLEBOTOMY FINAL REVIEW |
COMPLETE STUDY GUIDE WITH KEY CONCEPTS,
PROCEDURES & PRACTICE QUESTIONS
1. Describe the location of the bundle of His within the heart.
Located in the upper part of the septum dividing the ventricles
Found in the left atrium near the pulmonary veins
Embedded within the myocardium of the left ventricle
Situated in the right ventricle near the tricuspid valve
2. In a scenario where a patient is unconscious after an accident, which
principle allows the medical team to proceed with life-saving treatment?
Informed consent
Express consent
Implied consent
Written consent
3. Describe the role of semen in the male reproductive system.
Semen is primarily responsible for hormone production in males.
Semen is a type of blood that circulates in the male reproductive
organs.
Semen serves as the fluid that transports sperm during
ejaculation, providing nutrients and a medium for sperm
mobility.
Semen is a waste product of the male reproductive system.
,4. What is the primary function of the inferior vena cava?
Transports nutrients from the digestive system
, Carries blood to the heart from the legs and trunk
Carries oxygenated blood to the body
Filters blood before it reaches the heart
5. Describe the significance of newborn screening for phenylketonuria and
its potential consequences if untreated.
Newborn screening for phenylketonuria is crucial because
untreated cases can lead to brain damage and developmental
issues.
Phenylketonuria is not tested in newborns due to its commonality.
Phenylketonuria is only a concern in adults, not newborns.
Newborns are screened for phenylketonuria to prevent skin
conditions.
6. In your own words, describe the process of diagnosis in medicine.
Diagnosis is the process of documenting patient care.
Diagnosis involves assessing symptoms and medical history to
determine the nature of an illness.
Diagnosis is only about interpreting lab results.
Diagnosis is the same as treatment.
7. Why is implied consent important in emergency medical situations?
It allows medical treatment to be provided even if the patient
cannot express consent.
It eliminates the need for any form of consent.
It is only applicable in non-emergency situations.
It requires healthcare providers to wait for explicit consent.
, 8. If a child is diagnosed with a developmental disability, what
considerations should healthcare providers keep in mind for their care
plan?
Healthcare providers should avoid discussing the diagnosis with
the family.
Healthcare providers should only provide care in a hospital
setting.
Healthcare providers should consider individualized support
strategies, early intervention services, and family involvement in
the care plan.
Healthcare providers should focus solely on medication
management without family involvement.
9. If a patient has a condition that reduces saliva production, what impact
might this have on their ability to eat and digest food?
It may lead to difficulty in swallowing and increased risk of
dental issues.
It will enhance their ability to taste food more effectively.
It will improve their digestion by concentrating digestive enzymes.
It will have no impact on their eating habits.
10. If a patient is suspected of having a bacterial infection, which type of
bottle should be used to collect a blood culture for aerobic testing?
EDTA tube
Anaerobic bottle
Serum separator tube
Aerobic bottle
