"In phlebotomy, there are many factors that I control that keep my patients safe when I am drawing blood and I always work through steps in a methodical manner to ensure the safety of my patients. The first factor I always consider is where I conduct the draw. I make sure that it is well lit and clean where I will be drawing from the patient. I make sure that I am prepared by having my gloves, single use needles and sample tubes on my cart at all times to ensure a safe and speedy draw. I utilize my alcohol wipes with each and every patient to ensure a clean entry and I quickly bandage the area and give the patient instructions on when it is safe to remove the bandaging."
