Giải thích
Standard practice limits a phlebotomist to two attempts before handing the patient to another qualified collector, which protects the patient from repeated trauma. Blind lateral probing risks nerve damage and arterial puncture and is never acceptable. Canceling ordered tests without escalation deprives the provider of needed results.
