Capillary pun ar puncture is sometimes recommended when available veins are fragile or must be saved for other procedures such as a glucose tolerance test. at for POCT methods, blood specimens for glucose tests cannot be collected by capillary puncture 4.

The CLSI- CISL-recommended site for capillary puncture on adults and children older than 1 year is the palmar face of the distal or end segment of the middle or ring finger of the dominant hand the safest area for heel puncture is the medial or lateral palmar surface of the heel Neonatal bilirubin specimens must be kept cool during transportation and handling Phenylketonuria is a temporarily acquired disorder. 10 Blood spot circles for newborn screening tests are filled by applying a large drop of free-flowing blood to each side of the filter paper. 11. The recommended antiseptic for capillary specimen collection is povidone-lodine. 12. "Calcaneus" is the medical term for finger bone. 13. The capillary bed in the skin of a full-term newborn is richest in capillary loops below 1 mm deep. 14. Do not squeeze the site while collecting a capillary specimen as hemoconcentration can result. 15. Underfilling a microtube can result in microclots in the specimen.

Answer 1

1) False:Wrong word: Microhematocrit tubes    

          Correct word:Micro collection containers(Small containers are also called as bullets because of shape and size.

2) False: Wrong word:10times                          

          Correct word:7times(Warming the site can increase flow of blood as much as 7 times.

3)True:Correct word:Capillary puncture is recommended when the veins are fragile.

4)True: For PCOT, capillary punture can be used for glucose test.

5) False:Wrong word :draw first

       Correct word :When skin puncture, the hematology specimen is collected first followed by chemistry and blood banks.This is essential to minimize the platelet clumping.

6)False:Wrong word:Dominant hand

           Correct word: The CLSI recommended site for capillary puncture on adults and children older than 1 year is palmar surface of the distal or end segment of the middle or ring finger of the non dominant hand.

7)True :The safest area of capillary puncture for infant is lateral surface of imaginary line of fifth toe or the Planter surface of heel , medial to an imaginary line extending middle great toe.

8)True: Samples should be refrigerate at 4 degree during transportation.

9)False:Wrong word: Temporarily

Correct word: It is inherited disorder that increase level of phenyalanine in the blood. It is not treated.

10)False : On each side

Correct word : It takes a large, free-flowing blood drop to fill a circle with blood.Blood position is maintained untill blood soak through the circle,Completely filling both side of the paper.

11)False:Povidone iodine should not used for capillary specimen collection

12)False:Wrong word:Finger bone

Correct word: calcaneus is the bony part of the heel and forms a joint with the talus bone, the subtalar joint.

13)False wrong word:1mm deep   correct word :It should be 0.35 to 0.82mm depth

14)True:Squezing of puncture site should be avoided to prevent hemolysis.

15)False:Wrong word:Under filling Correct word: Over filling of microtube can result in clot formation.
