what is: Negligence
200
An x-ray view in which the patient is positioned facing the x-ray film or lying prone would be
what is: posterior-anterior
200
A device used to make the veins easier to find for venipuncture. These latex bands usually measure 1 to ½ inches wide and 15 inches long.
what is: A tourniquet
200
Additive used is sodium citrate. Additive prevents coagulation by binding calcium. It is advised to draw 2 to 3 ml of blood in a tube without additives before drawing this tube
Commonly used for coagulation tests (PT, PTT, fibrinogen)
what is: Blue top
