The seventh edition of this popular and informative text provides both
novice and seasoned veteran with practical information on all aspects of
phlebotomy: basic anatomy and physiology, safety, blood collection equipment and
procedures, point of care testing, quality management, and legal issues. A
section on special procedures covers pediatric, arterial, and intravenous
procedures; elderly, home, and long-term care collections; urinalysis and body
fluid collections; and collections for drug testing. "Clinical alerts," set out
from the text, are used to emphasize procedures that require extra precaution.
Learning is enhanced by case studies, study/questions, and many detailed
photographs and drawings (including colored plates). A larger text format is
used for easier reading. This is the best book on the subject: easy to read and
understand, broad in coverage, and regularly updated to provide you with the
latest new developments in this rapidly changing profession.
New to this edition: complete information on OSHA's needlestick safety and
prevention act of 2000; detailed descriptions of many new blood collection
products currently on the market (including various new safety devices); an
expanded discussion of patient communication, including patient age and
transcultural issues; and names, addresses, and web sites of organizations that
provide updated information on safety and other topics critical for keeping
informed.
