Phlebotomy Exam Prep 85, Professional Ethics and Scope of Practice

This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: - The five core duties that are within the phlebotomist's scope of practice, including patient identification, collection, labeling, transport, and basic point-of-care testing. - Why interpreting results, providing a diagnosis, or advising on treatment is strictly outside your professional boundaries. - How exam questions create scenarios to trap you into choosing a 'helpful' response that constitutes giving medical advice. - The correct professional response when a patient asks for information about their tests, results, or symptoms is to defer to a nurse or physician. - A simple mnemonic to remember your primary role: "Collect, Label, Transport, and Defer the Rest."
