Question: 1 / 400

What should a phlebotomist do if there is a discrepancy with the data provided on the patient's armband?

Correct the data themselves

Perform the venipuncture/draw blood

Not perform the venipuncture/draw blood and have provided data corrected

A phlebotomist should not correct the data themselves, as they are not authorized to make changes to a patient's records. They should also not ignore the discrepancy, as it could lead to potential errors in patient care. It is best to not perform the venipuncture/draw blood and instead have the provided data corrected by the appropriate person or department. This ensures that accurate data is used for the patient's treatment and care. Performing the venipuncture/draw blood with incorrect data could also lead to legal issues.
