Which sample has the greater chance to be hemolyzed, evacuated tube drawn sample or a syringe drawn sample? Explain why. Why is it important to gently mix evacuated blood tubes with anticoagulants or additives? When collecting blood in an evacuated tube with an anticoagulant, what is the importance of having the correct volume of blood? What is the principle behind the use of the evacuated tube? List 5 most common errors encountered during blood extraction using ETS.

Proper assembly of adapter, needle, and collection tubes Cleaning of puncture site in an inward to outward circular motion c. Puncture site after antiseptic has air dried d. Mixing blood and no pre-labelling of collection tubes e. Removal of tourniquet prior to needle drawing from vein f. Applying pressure to the site after blood collection
A client is admitted with a hemothorax following a motor vehicle collision, and the surgeon inserts a chest tube that is attached to a chest drainage system with suction at 20 cm water pressure. The practical nurse (PN) observes that the suction chamber fluid level is at 15 cm. Which action should the PN implement to ensure effective functioning of the chest drainage system? A The chest tube should be irrigated with 20 mL normal saline to ensure patency. B Additional sterile water should be added to the suction chamber to the 20 cm level. C The tubing should be manipulated until the chest drainage collects in the chamber. D Suction at the wall unit should be increased to enhance the velocity of bubbling.
