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.
