What the resources cover

This unit sits in the Pharmacology and Therapeutic Interventions strand of Nursing. It follows the path of a specimen: preparing the patient, collecting the blood, choosing the tube, and reading the result.

  • Collection: quizzes on venipuncture procedures, special phlebotomy procedures, patient and specimen requirements, and a flowchart called Sample gathering.
  • Tubes and order of draw: flashcards on the Yellow Topped Tube (with its SPS additive for blood cultures) and the Lavender Topped tube (EDTA, used for a complete blood count), plus a mind map and a quiz on order of draw.
  • Lab values: many flashcard decks, including Labs NCLEX, NORMAL LAB VALUES and ATI Lab Values & Vital Signs.
  • Urinalysis: mind maps built around reagent strip package inserts and colour charts.

Where to start

Begin with the quiz Phlebotomy Chapter 1-4. It opens with the basics, including the Greek roots of the word phlebotomy. Then move to the NCCT Phlebotomy Tech Review Quiz, which asks about the most important venipuncture step, time-dependent tests and the most commonly used vein.

Next, learn the tubes. Work through the tube decks, then check yourself with a quiz on order of draw.

Using quizzes and maps together

Read a mind map first, such as Blood Collection Tubes or Order of Draw, to see how the ideas connect. Then take a quiz on the same topic and note what you missed. Return to the map for those gaps only.

For lab values, use the flashcards for recall. The Labs NCLEX deck links electrolytes to symptoms, such as signs of low or high levels, which suits nursing candidates preparing for the NCLEX. Single-test maps on hematocrit, serum potassium, blood glucose and CBC help with detail.

For teachers

The mix of quizzes and decks gives you ready-made material for a skills session or a revision class. Check each resource against your own course before setting it.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I open first?

Start with the quiz Phlebotomy Chapter 1-4, which covers what phlebotomy is and its key terms. After that, the NCCT Phlebotomy Tech Review Quiz tests venipuncture steps, time-dependent tests and common veins. Once those feel comfortable, move on to the tube flashcards and the order of draw material.

What do the mind maps cover?

The mind maps cover blood collection tubes, order of draw, specimen collection modules, and single tests such as hematocrit, serum potassium, blood glucose and CBC. A large group also covers urinalysis, built around reagent strip package inserts and colour charts for strips such as Combur and Uro-dip.

Are the resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you create your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.

Is there anything for NCLEX preparation?

The flashcard deck Labs NCLEX covers electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium, with the symptoms linked to low and high levels. Other lab value decks, including ATI Lab Values & Vital Signs and Normal Lab Values, give more practice on reference ranges.

Who are these resources for?

They suit university students and professional candidates practising collection technique, tube choice and lab values. Most of the material leans towards professional study. Teachers can use the quizzes, decks and maps as ready-made material for classes or revision sessions.

What if I can't find the topic I need?

Try the related decks and maps first, since lab values, tubes and urinalysis appear in several formats. If a gap remains, you can make your own quiz, mind map, flashcards or notes. Community members have built most of what is here, so your own material can fill gaps too.
