Download Laboratory Clinical Experience in Urinalysis and Phlebotomy and more Lab Reports Chemistry in PDF only on Docsity! 1 Form 3-99 Clinical Laboratory Sciences 1000 LABORATORY CLINICAL EXPERIENCE (Phlebotomy, Urinalysis, General Laboratory Safety) At the completion of the CLS 1000 course, the student will have successfully completed the following: 1. The student will correctly perform testing with the analyzers routinely used in the laboratory for urinalysis. This will include correctly troubleshooting analyzer performance problems, and also evaluating patient test results for critical values, short- sampling errors, and inappropriate specimens. The student will change or replace reagents / disposables as needed by the analyzer(s). 2. The student will correctly perform, or assist in performing Daily and Weekly Preventative Maintenance the urinalysis equipment routinely used in the laboratory 3. The student will review the calibration procedures for any urinalysis analyzers used in the laboratory. 4. The student will perform Daily/Shift QC procedures on the analyzers or test methods used for urinalysis. The student will learn the laboratory’s SOP for resolving QC discrepancies, and then correctly apply those procedures, including all required documentation activities. 5. The student will perform, or assist in performing, routine testing (as deemed appropriate for students by the clinical facility) in urinalysis. 6. The student will correctly report test results (STATS, critical values, etc.) by telephone to a nurse, physician or other appropriate health care professional, according to the SOP used by the laboratory. Students should work together with their respective mentors to complete the listed objectives. Accuracy, precision, timely reporting of test results, and demeanor must comply with the laboratory's acceptable standards. While working in the laboratory, the student must meet laboratory standards for work habit skills in patient confidentiality, communication skills, laboratory safety, universal precautions, waste disposal, and equipment/work area maintenance. It is requested that the student's laboratory competency evaluation be completed by the clinical mentor in the presence of the student so as to allow verbal feedback to the student regarding the student's progress and performance. 2 Form 3-99 LEVELS OF ACHIEVEMENT LEVEL 1: Discussed: Process was discussed, principle explained, student acknowledges an understanding of the process or principle. LEVEL 2: Demonstrated: Process has been performed and demonstrated by the practicum instructor. Student has observed demonstration and has been allowed to ask questions as needed. The student acknowledges an understanding of the process or principle by verbally explaining the process or principle back to the practicum instructor. LEVEL 3: Practiced: Student has practiced the process under the direction an maximum supervision of the practicum instructor. The student demonstrates a knowledge of how to perform the process or task by actual performance under direct, maximum supervision, but without having to demonstrate any particular competency at that task or process. LEVEL 4: Maximum Supervision: The student has performed the process under the direct, maximum supervision of the practicum instructor, and with the level of competency required by the laboratory for that task or process. LEVEL 5: Minimum Supervision: The student can perform the process satisfactorily with only minimum, or non-direct supervision by the practicum instructor, and the performance meets the level of competency required by the laboratory for that task or process. N/A: Not Available/Applicable: Due to the nature of the laboratory, the student does not have access to the equipment/test method. 5 Form 3-99 2. Demonstrates honesty in all areas of laboratory work, to include performing and documenting daily, weekly, and monthly preventative maintenance procedures, temperature checks, etc. 5 3. Demonstrates honesty by maintaining strict patient confidentiality regarding laboratory test results, diagnosis, and treatment. 5 4.

Demonstrates a high degree of professional demeanor by consistently and correctly notifying all coworkers in the event of chemical, radiation, physical, or biohazard spills or accidents, and then correctly following the appropriate clean-up and decontamination procedures specified by the laboratory. 5 7 Form 3-99 Professional Responsibility 1. Demonstrates appropriate professional affective behavior by correctly reporting all patient test values, as well as recognizing and correctly reporting all patient critical test values. 5 2. Demonstrates appropriate professional affective behavior by correctly recognizing erroneous test values that represent serious pre-analytical error, such as hemolyzed, lipemic, or icteric specimens, or specimens which were obtained using an incorrect anticoagulant. 5 3. Demonstrates appropriate professional affective behavior by refraining from switching patient results, or reporting patient results when there is a discrepancy in specimen labeling or handling, incorrect specimen handling, incorrect times of collection, incorrect medical record (or accession-requisition) numbers. 5 Clinical Mentor Additional Comments:
