  1. Obtaining blood specimen

    normaig replied to normaig's topic in General Nursing
    In pediatrics I totally get it. I wonder if this is a safe practice to be doing in general?

  2. Obtaining blood specimen

    normaig posted a topic in General Nursing
    I have a question has anybody seen blood specimen obtained via an open angiocatheter and dripped into a lab test tube? I had never seen this practice before. I am currently working in an ED out side of the country (don't ask where) and this is a practice which is often used. Personally I can't even begin to imagine how nurses could actually do this and allow themselves to be exposed to blood components. I have tried to do a literature search against this practice but can't seem to find any literature. If anybody knows of an article specifically dealing with this please post the information. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
