Hygiene during Blood Draw Posted: 05-16-07 11:55am
I had my blood drawn and the nurse put on
clean gloves but then threw away another's
alcohol swab and the cotton ball she uses
to dry the alcohol. She then proceeded to
draw my blood. Should I be concerned about
contamination since her gloves touched
another's items before drawing my blood?
Thank you!
