    Study Notes

    CPT Coding

    • Primary code in CPT consists of 5 digits.

    Phlebotomy and Blood Draw

    • Correct order of draw: Green, Lavender, Gray.
    • CBC additive is EDTA.
    • When drawing a forensic sample, obtain a chain of custody form signed by the receiving lab.
    • If a hematoma develops during a venous blood draw, release the tourniquet and stop the draw.

    Blood Pressure Measurement

    • Inflate the blood pressure cuff 30 mm above the point where the radial pulse ceases.
    • Diastolic pressure should be recorded when the sound disappears.

    Laboratory Testing

    • HCG test is classified as a CLIA-waived lab test.
    • Povidone iodine can affect potassium levels when used for dermal puncture.
    • Abnormal potassium lab result is indicated by a level of 3 mEq/L.

    Patient Care and Safety

    • In case of a patient crying, allow them to express their emotions.
    • If a patient loses consciousness and the EKG shows ventricular fibrillation, call for help and start CPR.

    Medical Procedures

    • For a rectal exam, the best position is the Sims Position.
    • An ammonia specimen needs to be placed in an ice-water slurry for proper handling.
    • Bandage a wound by wrapping it from distal to proximal.

    Medication Administration

    • Enteric-coated tablets should be swallowed whole with a glass of water.
    • Slow release of medication into the bloodstream occurs via the transdermal route.

    Measurements and Conversions

    • 40 kg converts to 88 pounds (40 x 2.2 = 88).
    • 5'7" is equivalent to 170 cm.
    • 72 kg converts to 158.4 pounds (72 x 2.2 = 158.4).
    • 1 tablespoon of medication equals 15 mL.

    Scheduling and Insurance

    • The primary insurance policy is determined by the parent with the earliest birth month.

    Monitoring and Equipment

    • Trough levels for therapeutic medications are measured at the time the next dose is due.
    • The most accurate method for taking body temperature is rectal.

    EKG Insights

    • Lead V4 is placed at the 5th intercostal space at the midclavicular line.
    • R wave indicates ventricular depolarization.
    • Troponin levels are elevated during a heart attack.

    Patient Instructions

    • When using a Holter monitor, patients should record physical activities in the diary. Indicate a need for further instruction if a patient states they will reattach loose leads themselves, as this should be done by medical staff.
