PBT · Sample question
An inpatient has a routine CMP order. At the bedside, the patient's wristband name matches the requisition, but the medical record number is different. The nurse says, “Draw it anyway; I know him, and you can use his PICC if the vein is hard.” What is the safest scope-appropriate action for the phlebotomy technician?
A is correct. A mismatched identifier creates a high-risk preanalytical error; collection must stop until identity is resolved per policy. C is unsafe because verbal recognition does not replace required identifiers. D may be appropriate only for authorized personnel under local policy; central-line access is outside routine phlebotomy scope for many entry-level technicians and does not fix the ID problem. B is tempting because urgency matters clinically, but the phlebotomist should not interpret urgency or override identification rules. Notify the nurse, supervisor, or laboratory as required and document according to procedure.
ASSESS identifiers; INTERVENE by stopping collection; REFER discrepancy to authorized staff; DOCUMENT actions per policy.
