Medca Phlebotomy Technician Study
Guide-Graded A
type and cross match - ANS-takes place for transfusions to determine if a patient will
react after a transfusion (learning if blood is compatible with donors)
preanalytical phase - ANS-the process of collecting a specimen for further laboratory
testing
anatomic pathology - ANS-process of testing specimen such as biopsy
pharmacy department - ANS-primary consultant for blood collected for testing drug
levels
quality improvement - ANS-the use of data-based methods in order to reach
improvement(may use a flowchart or pareto chart)
quality control records - ANS-What are these examples of:
-expiration dates
-precision of testing supplies/reagents
-storage information
phlebotomist - ANS-Who is a potential threat to the patient
yes - ANS-is feces and urine a potential source of infection
nosocomial - ANS-patient developing an infection while in the hospital that was not
present before they arrived
fomites - ANS-materials that carry infections
hand washing - ANS-the single most important way to prevent the spread of infection
wash hands with soap and water - ANS-what do you do when you are stuck by a needle
blood pressure - ANS-pressure exerted by circulating blood upon the walls of blood
vessels
arterial - ANS-blood pressure usually refers to the ____________ pressure of systemic
circulation
, systolic pressure - ANS-____________ is maximum while diastolic pressure is minimum
decreases - ANS-blood pressure _______________ when blood moves away from the
heart
inside - ANS-blood pressure is usually measured on the _________ of the elbow, at a
person's upper arm
120/80 - ANS-what is the normal blood pressure reading
(with systolic being the higher number, and diastolic being the lower number)
systolic - ANS--heart contracting
-maximum arterial pressure during the contraction is in the left ventricle
-also called ventricular contraction
diastolic - ANS--relaxation and dilation(expansion) period
-minimum arterial pressure is when ventricles are filled with blood
diastolic sound - ANS-sound heard during diastole
pulse - ANS-rhythmical expansion of arteries due to heart contractions
increases - ANS-when you breathe in your heart rate __________
ankle - ANS-Your pulse can be felt at the wrist(radial artery), neck(carotid artery), inside
elbow(brachial artery), behind knee(popliteal artery), and around the
________________ joint(posterior tibial artery)
index and middle - ANS-the _________ _____ _______________ fingers can feel for
the pulse
thumb - ANS-what has a pulse of it's own
120-60 - ANS-what should someone's pulse rate be between
serum - ANS-when blood clots what is the fluid called
homeostasis - ANS-what is the steady state of the body called
bone marrow - ANS-where is blood made
95 - ANS-the bone marrow produces __% of the blood cells using the liver, spleen, and
lymph nodes to help with cell regulation
stem cells - ANS-what do blood cells originate as
