Case Study No. 2
You are performing the last draw of your shift. It’s been a long day and you are looking forward to meeting your friends for pizza right after work. The patient is prepped, the tourniquet is on, and you reached for the red-topped tube which is the last one on your tray. As you are about to insert the multi-sample needle into the tube, you noticed the expiration date – it just expired.

Or should you stop the draw and ask the patient to wait while you get another tube? (Must explain in 20-30 sentences)
