This textbook on phlebotomy is written to teach phlebotomy skills to individuals that are already familiar with healthcare. Many individuals that are working in healthcare or are taking classes that are healthcare related are discovering that they need to have a skill level in phlebotomy. Most phlebotomy textbooks contain information that the healthcare student or worker is already knowledgeable of. This book keeps it simple by explaining only phlebotomy and the procedures necessary to perform the task. The book is very specific and concise in focusing on adult phlebotomy and specimen collection. It does not attempt to cover anatomy, infant care and specific laboratory testing such as bleeding times or Unopette procedures. These are left to more complete textbooks such as a book by this author “The Complete Textbook of Phlebotomy, 3rd edition”. This book is to be used by healthcare workers needing specific information on phlebotomy procedures. Technical programs that are teaching Medical Assisting or Nursing will be able to use this text as a supplemental text to teach basic phlebotomy. This book can be covered in several sessions rather than spend an entire semester on the subject. The instructor can use the complementary book, “The Complete Textbook of Phlebotomy, 3rd edition and Instructor Guide” as a resource to answer student questions and develop test questions. Hospitals and healthcare institutions that want to update their staff on the basics of phlebotomy can use this book as a reference to the newest and latest procedures and safety devices in use. There are multiple pictures to accompany procedures making the learning experience easier.
