1 SPECIMEN COLLECTION-WAIVED TESTING POLICY 1. Application for waived testing will be submitted to CLIA (Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments) on a yearly basis. 2. All laboratory specimens: PURPOSE A. Will be collected using Universal Precautions. B. Will be collected using Quest s Directory of Services submission requirement. C. Will be transported in red puncture proof containers or puncture proof containers with the red Biohazard label affixed to the outside of the container. To assist the physician in assessing home care patient s status by collecting specimens for laboratory analysis. PROCEDURE For all specimen collection (see specific type of specimen needed for further instructions.) 1. Check physician s order for laboratory test to be performed. 2. Check Quest s Directory of Services for any specifics regarding type of specimen to be obtained (i.e. color of test tube, refrigeration needed, length of time specimen is stable.) 3. Explain the procedure to the patient. 4. Assemble equipment. 5. Wash hands before and after specimen collection. 6. Use Universal Precautions; use goggles if splashing is likely. 7. Clean tubes or specimen containers with Cavicide if contaminated with blood or body fluids. 8. Label specimen with patient s full name. Apply sticker with requisition number from laboratory requisition to specimen container.
2 9. Put specimen in plastic leak proof bag and then into puncture proof container. 10. Discard disposable items in a plastic bag and secure. 11. Fill out laboratory requisition and transport. 12. Document on visit report type of specimen obtained, patient toleration of test and laboratory to which the specimen was brought. VENOUS BLOOD SAMPLING To be obtained by registered nurse or licensed practical nurse (if IV certified.) Do not draw blood from the patient s arm that has a shunt or intravenous therapy line. Do not draw blood from lower extremities. Gray, blue, and purple-topped test tubes should be gently inverted a couple to times after they are filled with the blood sample to prevent clotting. Notify the nursing supervisor after three unsuccessful attempts to enter the vein. 1. Equipment A. Vacutainer specimen tubes B. Vacutainer holder and vacutainer needles or syringe large enough to hold the quantity of blood desired with a 19 to 21 gauge needle C. Tourniquet D. Bandage E. Cotton Ball F. Laboratory requisition G. Antiseptic wipes H. Disposable nonsterile gloves, sharps container 2. Procedure A. Assist the patient to either a sitting or supine position for venipuncture. B. Select the site for venipuncture. The antecubital fossae and veins in the arms and hands are suitable. C. Place the arm in a dependent position. Apply a tourniquet 6 to 8 inches above the site of venipuncture. D. Cleanse the area with antiseptic wipes, moving the wipes in a circular motion 3 to 4 cm outward from the needle insertion site. E. Fix the chosen vein with the thumb, and draw the skin taut immediately below the site before inserting the needle F. At approximately ½ inch below the venipuncture site, insert the needle with the bevel up at a 30-degree angle so that it enters the skin and then the vein. G. Observe for blood flow. H. Lower the syringe so that it is almost parallel to the skin.
3 I. The following is the technique for use with a syringe; 1) Withdraw the desired amount of blood into the syringe. 2) Release the tourniquet before removing the needle from the vein to reduce the incidence of hematoma formation. 3) Elevate the arm. Apply pressure to the area with a cotton ball for approximately 2 to 4 minutes or longer if the patient is anticoagulated. 4) Inject blood from the syringe into the proper vacutainer specimen tubes. J. The following is the technique for using a vacutainer: CULTURE COLLECTION 1. Ova and Parasite 1) Insert the vacutainer specimen tube into the holder but not onto the 2-way vacutainer needle. 2) Perform venipuncture as described. 3) Gently push the vacutainer specimen tube against the end of the holder onto the 2-way needle; make sure that the 2-way needle completely pierces the rubber stopper of the specimen tube; the vacuum in the specimen tube will automatically draw up the blood sample. 4) If more than one sample is needed, gently withdraw the filled specimen tube from the holder; insert the next tube into the holder so that the needle completely pierces the rubber stopper. 5) Release the tourniquet before the last tube is completely filled; this reduces the incidence of hematoma formation; allow the last tube to fill. 6) Elevate the arm; apply pressure to the area for approximately 2 to 5 minutes or longer if the patient is receiving anticoagulant therapy. 7) Apply a bandage to the area as needed. Can be obtained by a registered nurse or licensed practical nurse. 1) Bedpan 2) Tongue blade 3) Specimen cup 4) Laboratory requisition 5) Disposable nonsterile gloves (See Infection Control)
4 2. Sputum 1) Assist the patient onto the bedpan or into the bathroom. 2) Collect a specimen by using a tongue blade to obtain a small amount of stool and placing it in the specimen cup. 3) Perform perineal care as needed. 4) DO NOT refrigerate for ova and parasite. Can be obtained by RN or LPN. Obtain a sputum specimen in the morning when the patient has more strength to expectorate. Sputum can be collected for culture by expectoration, as well as by naso-oropharyngeal, endotracheal, or tracheal suctioning. 3. Stool 1) Sterile specimen (if for culture and sensitivity) 2) Laboratory requisition 3) Antiseptic wipes 4) Disposable nonsterile gloves 1) Instruct the patient to expectorate. Clarify difference between sputum and saliva, as well as the time of day to collect the specimen. 2) Instruct the patient to rinse the mouth with water. The patient should breathe deeply and then forcefully cough to expectorate lower respiratory secretions directly into the container. 3) For tracheostomy the following is performed: a. Attach a sputum trap between the suction catheter and the suction tubing b. Suction the patient c. Remove the sputum trap, and close it according to the manufacturer s instructions 4) Offer oral hygiene as needed. Can be obtained by a registered nurse or licensed practical nurse. Culture the first morning stool.
5 4. Throat 1) Culturette or stool specimen cup 2) Tongue blade 3) Bedpan or container 4) Laboratory requisition 5) Disposable nonsterile gloves 1) Assist the patient onto the bedpan or into the bathroom 2) Collect a stool specimen using a tongue blade to obtain a small amount of stool, to be placed in a specimen cup or by swabbing stool with a swab culturette. 3) If you are using a specimen cup, replace the container cap. 4) If you are using a culturette, replace the swab in the container. Hold the cap down, and crush the ampule at the bottom to disperse culture medium fluid. 5) Perform perineal care as needed. 6) DO NOT refrigerate stool specimen. To be obtained by registered nurse or licensed practical nurse. 5. Wound 1) Assist the patient to a sitting or a lying-down position. 2) Remove the cap from the culture tube. Do not touch the cap or inside of the culture tube. Remove the swab from the culture tube. 3) Instruct the patient to open his/her mouth as wide as possible and to say ahh. Depress the tongue, with a tongue blade and culture area by moving the swab over the inflamed or purulent area. 4) Return the swab to the culture tube. Replace the cap. Holding the cap down, crush the ampule at the bottom of the culture tube to release the culture medium fluid. To be obtained by registered nurse or licensed practical nurse. Anaerobic cultures are not done with culturette specimens. Deep wounds should be aspirated by the physician using a syringe and sent to the lab in an anaerobic culture tube. 1) Culturette
6 FECAL OCCULT BLOOD 2) Wound dressings as prescribed by the physician 3) Laboratory requisition 4) Disposable nonsterile, sterile gloves 1) Position the patient to expose the wound.
