HT · Sample question
During accessioning, an HT receives a colon biopsy container labeled with patient name and date of birth, but the requisition lists a different date of birth. The cassette has not been printed and tissue has not been processed. What is the most appropriate action within the HT scope of practice?
Review HT Scope of Practice
B is correct: identifier discrepancies must be stopped, documented, and escalated before accessioning or processing. A is tempting but an HT cannot alter patient identifiers without policy-authorized resolution. D involves the pathologist, but sign-out cannot resolve a preanalytic identity conflict. C preserves tissue but risks a specimen mix-up and violates quality practice. HT practice centers on specimen integrity, documentation, QC, and escalation—not diagnosis or overriding SOPs.
ASSESS identifiers; INTERVENE by holding workflow per SOP; REFER to supervisor/pathologist or designee; DOCUMENT the discrepancy and actions.
