THE VISIT
What should happen during a professional blood-test visit?
The provider should confirm identity and the ordered tests, explain the collection, use suitable single-use equipment, label and handle the sample correctly, control the puncture site afterwards and explain when and how the report will arrive. Home collection still needs the same attention to safety and sample quality.
