Demonstration should include

blood smears
blood culture
blood samples for inborn errors of metabolism (e.g., phenylketonuria (PKU), galactosemia)
quality control for Clinical Laboratory Improvements Amendments (CLIA)-waived procedures.
specimens based on handling requirements (e.g., temperature, light, time)
explaining nonblood specimen collection procedures to patients (e.g., stool, urine, semen, throat swab, sputum)
handling patient-collected, nonblood specimens
avoiding pre-analytical errors when collecting blood specimens (e.g., quantity not sufficient (QNS), hemolysis)
adhering to chain-of-custody guidelines when required (e.g., forensic studies, blood alcohol, drug screen)
preparing samples for transportation to a reference (i.e., outside) laboratory.
using technology to input and retrieve specimen data
reporting critical values to point-of-care testing (e.g., finger stick, blood glucose)
distributing laboratory results to ordering providers.

Process/Skill Questions:

Where is the best place to perform a finger stick for a capillary collection?
Why is there a time limit?
What is the rationale for inverting the blood collection tubes after blood draws?
