programs that include program approval, certification exam questions, and standard of
care based on CLSI standards.
Patient rights to knowing about tests - Answer-Patients have the right to know what they
are being tested for, treated for, as well as refusal of treatment. You should NEVER give
patients results or explain what the tests check for because as a phlebotomist, you're
not medically qualified
Informed Consent - Answer-A competent person gives voluntary permission for a
medical procedure after receiving adequate information about the risk of the procedure's
methods and consequences
Expressed consent - Answer-Permission is given by the patient verbally or in writing for
a procedure
Implied consent - Answer-Patients actions permit the procedure without verbal or written
consent (willingly holding arm out after being told they need blood drawn)
HIV consent - Answer-Special permission is needed to administer a test that detects
HIV
Parental consent for minors - Answer-A parent or a legal guardian must permit
procedures administered to underage patients depending on the state law, ranging from
18-21 years old
Refusal of care - Answer-Patients have a right to refuse care, as well as to stop
receiving care at any point during the procedure. Patients under the custody of parents
or laws enforcement cannot refuse care as that falls to the custodian of that individual.
Providers can request the patient sign a refusal form to cover the provider and clinic
from future litigation revolving around failure to provide care. An example would be a
discharge against medical advice or AMA.
Patient identification - Answer-Ask the patient for identification, then check it. Then,
confirm the information. If the patient is in an in-patient clinic, they will be issued a non-
removable waterproof identification band in place of their government ID. This
identification band MUST be on the patient, not the bed rail or other equipment. A
patient band that is inside the patient's pocket is void.
