type and cross match - well answered takes place for transfusions to determine if a patient will react
after a transfusion (learning if blood is compatible with donors)
preanalytical phase - well answered the process of collecting a specimen for further laboratory testing
anatomic pathology - well answered process of testing specimen such as biopsy
pharmacy department - well answered primary consultant for blood collected for testing drug levels
quality improvement - well answered the use of data-based methods in order to reach
improvement(may use a flowchart or pareto chart)
quality control records - well answered What are these examples of:
-expiration dates
-precision of testing supplies/reagents
-storage information
phlebotomist - well answered Who is a potential threat to the patient
yes - well answered is feces and urine a potential source of infection
nosocomial - well answered patient developing an infection while in the hospital that was not present
before they arrived
fomites - well answered materials that carry infections
hand washing - well answered the single most important way to prevent the spread of infection
,wash hands with soap and water - well answered what do you do when you are stuck by a needle
blood pressure - well answered pressure exerted by circulating blood upon the walls of blood vessels
arterial - well answered blood pressure usually refers to the ____________ pressure of systemic
circulation
systolic pressure - well answered ____________ is maximum while diastolic pressure is minimum
decreases - well answered blood pressure _______________ when blood moves away from the heart
