Phlebotomy Simplified is an easy-to-follow introduction to basic phlebotomy for the beginning health care student. The text takes a step-by-step, practice-oriented approach to blood collection procedures. It can also serve as a practical reference guide for health care professionals responsible for blood and specimen collection in diverse settings, including hospitals, ambulatory clinics, home health care and pediatric clinics.

The 3rd Edition has been reconfigured to make learning objectives a more direct extension of the entry-level competencies of NAACLS. Competencies of the National Accrediting Committee for Clinical Laboratory Sciences (NAACLS) are linked to relevant chapters and to coverage level (basic or intermediate). To help you synthesize the material, each chapter ends with critical-thinking activities, including study questions, problem-solving cases and competency assessments.
