Question 2

You have just left one nursing home and collected a lavender top tube for a CBC. This tube is in the car in a resealable plastic bag. You leave the sample in the car while you go into the next nursing home on your schedule. The temperature outside is well below freezing and when you return to the car you notice the CBC specimen looks slightly frozen. How will this change the results of the CBC?

Answer to Question 2

The freezing of a CBC sample will rupture the red blood cells, which will result in a hemolyzed sample and inaccurate values for the specimen.
