antibiotics! 2)correct anatomic site and proper tech.
3) correct amount
4) correct transportation
5)proper labeling(full name, dob or mrn, date, time, source, collectors initials)
6)delivery time
*note bioterrism if needed
Bacteremia - answer -presence of bacteria in the blood
Septicemia - answer -infection in the blood due to bacteria
-chills, fever, exhaustion
(bac can lead to sept)
