Imagine if students could get all of the practice they need from one study guide and score very high on the NHA Phlebotomy Exam. This Phlebotomy study guide combines theory and practice questions so that students are fully prepared before writing the exam. While other guides only provide around 100 questions, this guide has 300 questions along with answer explanations. There are 3 full-length tests included so that test takers will have enough practice before attempting the real exam. About Newstone Test Prep Newstone Test Prep provides students with up-to-date test questions so that they are well prepared before taking the exam. We take pride in our guides because they combine both theory and test questions. At Newstone Test Prep, we do not just compile test questions; we compile the same number of questions as the real exams, in the same format. This has been a great help for past students because they were able to simulate the real exam while studying. Thousands of students have scored higher on their exams after using our study guides.
Phlebotomy uses large, hollow needles to remove blood specimens for lab testing or blood donation. Each step in the process carries risks - both for patients and health workers. Patients may be bruised. Health workers may receive needle-stick injuries. Both can become infected with bloodborne organisms such as hepatitis B, HIV, syphilis or malaria. Moreover, each step affects the quality of the specimen and the diagnosis. A contaminated specimen will produce a misdiagnosis. Clerical errors can prove fatal. The new WHO guidelines provide recommended steps for safe phlebotomy and reiterate accepted principles for drawing, collecting blood and transporting blood to laboratories/blood banks.
This pocket-sized reference provides great information on phlebotomy techniques, with nice summaries of procedures with many photos and illustrations. It is ideal for clinical rotations, for quick review of coursework, and to study in preparation for your certification exam.
