I have a question about question 5 because I've had a tourniquet on for more than 5 minutes before during a blood draw so if the maximum is a minute then what do you do if you have to have it on for more than that? Im going back to training so i can go for the test this time and im just curious about that
Thank you for your question. If the tourniquet is approaching or going over the one minute mark, then you will release the tourniquet and continue the blood draw. If blood flow stops, then you must start from the beginning and look for another site. Most of the time after releasing the tourniquet, you should have continual blood flow into the tubes.
@@ToriaPrather-zt8up Great question. Typically, it’s not allowed because it could cause an increase in your metabolism. It all depends how much coffee was taken in. That is why you need to wait. Technically coffee is breaking the fast but a doctor could allow it.
@@ToriaPrather-zt8up Also, when fasting for blood tests, drinking coffee can be a bit tricky. Black coffee (without cream, sugar, or any additives) is usually allowed for some tests because it’s calorie-free. However, it can still affect certain blood test results, like blood glucose and cholesterol levels, because caffeine can stimulate your metabolism and affect your blood sugar. If the test specifically requires fasting, it’s best to stick to water to ensure the most accurate results. It’s always good to follow the specific instructions given by the healthcare provider or lab conducting the test.
I have questions about what if the parents want you to a draw a blood for thier kiddo even they know thats their kiddos is have a chance on passing out? What should the phlebotomist to do?
@@joicesummers7581 If you have an order to draw blood then you have to draw. Depending on the age of the kid, you can have the parents hold them or you can lay them down with the parents next to them for comfort. Either way, you must draw the blood.
@@PhlebotomySolutions Thank you so much for enlightening me because I'm confused and I have to know it before I proceed working in the field. One more question I hope you don't mind, is cotton ball is recommended to use after venipuncture? Thank you so much I really appreciate your help.
@@joicesummers7581 Cotton balls are not recommended according to CLSI. The fibers of the cotton ball can stick to the surface of the puncture site. You should always be using 2 x 2 gauze.
@@PhlebotomySolutions you're awesome! thank you so much for your help.I have one more question please this is the last one..Lol What's Law usually apply in California? State or Federal? I really appreciate your help , God bless!
If the questions in this video are anything like what's going to be on the NHA exam then I should pass with flying colors. Fingers crossed.🤞🏾
@@TianaSettle They’re all multiple-choice questions and if you just follow what the video says about how to answer, you should do fine.

Yes, usually a National exam but it depends on your state.
What's the standard certification for phlebotomist? How do you feel about NHA?
NHA is perfectly fine. Whatever the state requirements are, follow.
