The Student Workbook for Phlebotomy Essentials, Enhanced Seventh Edition is designed to be used in combination with the seventh edition of the Phlebotomy Essentials textbook as a valuable learning resource that will help the student master the principles of phlebotomy by reinforcing key concepts and procedures covered in the textbook.

The purpose of this book is to help you learn proper phlebotomy and EKG procedures and understand the whys of phlebotomy procedures. Many times, as a patient, I have observed phlebotomy techniques, and I would ask the phlebotomist, “What is the reason for drawing the tubes in that order?” I would get either no reply or “I’m not sure.” Now don’t get me wrong. I have met many technicians who have great skills, but some cannot explain the most important question—why? If you were asked to eat fish once a week, and you ask why, and the only answer you get is because it’s good for you, well, I’m sorry but where is the why? In the same vein here, why do you draw the tubes in a certain order? When using my book, you will also be able to link onto my website as an interactive guide. So what are we waiting for? Let’s begin.
