Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Prepare for your blood test. Take your prescription to a hospital or lab. Provide the phlebotomists with information. Relax your arm. Let the phlebotomist draw your blood. Avoid making yourself anxious.

Answer: Depending on the type of blood work your doctor or other medical professional has ordered, there are a number of things you need to do to prepare for the test. This is necessary to make sure that the diagnostics performed on your blood provide accurate data. Some preparations could include: Not eating or drinking for up to 12 hours. Discontinue use of certain medications. Other preparations as ordered by your doctor. After your doctor has evaluated whether you need blood work or not, take your prescription to a hospital or lab. You'll likely wind up at a specific lab that specializes in collecting blood work and other specimens from people. The lab will either run the blood there or send it off to a central location for testing. When you are called in at the lab or hospital, a phlebotomist (a person trained to extract blood from patients) will sit you down and may ask you questions. Cooperate with the phlebotomist. She is not there to cause you trouble or to harass you. The phlebotomist is just doing her job. Questions she might ask you could be for a variety of reasons, including: To verify your identity To find out if you have allergies to latex To calm you down or relax you When the phlebotomist goes to take your blood, you need to relax your arm. Try to stay relaxed, otherwise the phlebotomist will have a tougher time finding your vein and taking your blood. Staying rigid and not relaxing could cause unneeded pain to yourself and exacerbate an already uncomfortable situation. Do not clench your muscles. Your palm should be facing up. After you relax your arm, the phlebotomist will then draw your blood. Ultimately, this is the moment you've been waiting for. The actual blood being drawn won't take too long, so relax. The phlebotomist will locate a vein from which to take blood, then clean the area with an alcohol swab. The phlebotomist will create and tie a tourniquet on the arm to help blood collect. The phlebotomist will position the needle at a 15 degree angle and stick it into your skin. You'll feel a slight stinging, but nothing significant. The blood being drawn will take from 30 seconds to a couple of minutes, depending on how much blood and how many samples (tubes) the phlebotomist needs to take. As the phlebotomist is drawing your blood, try to avoid doing things that might cause you anxiety, and push negative thoughts aside. If the sight of blood makes you feel faint, don't look at the blood being drawn out of your arm. If you're fascinated by it, feel free to look. Just remember, this is a normal and necessary procedure that needs to be done to determine your health. The blood drawing procedure itself won't hurt you. Close your eyes and hum if that helps. Think about something else if you get anxious. Joke with the phlebotomist or talk about anything but the fact that blood is being drawn out of your arm.
