Medical Assistant Prep / Unit 19   MAS 460 short lesson, about 20 seconds

Gather Everything First

Captions available

The idea

Gather all equipment before you begin, so you never leave a patient with a needle in place.

In practice

You need the right tubes, needles and holder, a tourniquet, alcohol swabs, gauze, labels, gloves and a sharps container within reach.

Where people slip

Keep the tube rack close to you but away from the patient, so it cannot be knocked over.

Your place on the trail

Every lesson rests on earlier ones and opens later ones. Tap any to jump.
