## Resource

This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: - Implied consent is sufficient for routine venipuncture and is demonstrated by a patient's actions, such as extending their arm. - Explicit consent, either verbal or written, is mandatory for more invasive procedures like an Arterial Blood Gas (ABG) draw or blood donation. - A competent patient has the absolute right to refuse a blood draw at any point in the process, even after initially agreeing. - When a patient refuses, the phlebotomist's primary responsibilities are to stop the procedure, accurately document the refusal, and immediately notify the nurse or physician. - For minor patients, consent must typically be obtained from a parent or legal guardian, a foundational principle often tested on certification exams.
