Awesome! Thank you!

Hi Ms. K I started to watch your videos just recently, and they are very helpful. I would like to know if you have a video where you show the order of draw with additives? I kind of have an idea, but I would like to see it in one of your videos as you explain step by step and seems pretty easy when you do it which makes me feel comfortable. Thanks a lot for the videos you post! : )

Not yet but great idea… will add to my list of vids to make.

Thank you, Ms. K. I'm currently in MA school and I still have that nervousness inside me when I start drawing blood. Do you have any advice on how to overcome the fear inside me?

Hey… it’s going to be a matter of just continuing to expose yourself to it. You can start watching more videos on it and then before you actually do it just actual instructor if you could watch a few people before you actually do it. And just know that you will not be hurting your patient as much as you may think.. if that is something you are worried about. Hopefully you guys have a practice arm you could start on.

Hey Ms. K thanks for the video. What is the reason for the fist under the arm?

It’s just something we do in class to help keep the arm straight

Dumb question but is there anyway a needle can be accidentally reused? Or is that impossible due to the design of the needle?

Not a dumb question at all… If someone recaps a needle after they use it, yes, it can accidentally be reused. This is why we should never recap a used needle. It should be discarded of in the sharps container immediately. If the safety device was activated, there is no way to unlock it, but it should still be discarded immediately.

@MedicalAssistingwithMsK Thank you for the response!What kind of training or safety protocols are put in place to prevent this from happening? Do new needles come in packaging to prevent accidental mix up? I'm about to have my blood drawn, and I'm a little nervous because I hate needles lol

Hey, it’s hard to explain without actually showing you. But I agree with the person above; just be confident in your abilities and know that the slower you go, the more painful it is for the patient. So you don’t want to jab the needle in but you just want a nice smooth swift motion.

@@MedicalAssistingwithMsK ok thanks so much

Thanks for the lesson this was a great refresher! But one question, does the degree of insertion matter? I remember something like “you have to stick the needle in at a 45 degree angle.” Maybe that’s something else?

@MedicalAssistingwithMsK

5 ай бұрын

Yes it matters... phlebotomy can be anywhere from a 5 to 15 degree angle. When it comes to a 45 degree angle, you may thinking of a subcutaneous injection, not a blood draw.
