   NHA CCMA Exam Prep 87, Bedside Labeling and Chain of Custody

   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: - To always label specimens immediately at the bedside in the patient's presence and to never pre-label tubes before collection. - That a specimen label must include at least two patient identifiers, the date and time of collection, and the collector's initials. - That any error found on a specimen label requires the specimen to be discarded and a complete redraw to be performed. - That chain of custody is a legal process requiring photo ID verification, tamper-evident seals, and meticulous documentation of every handoff. - That a broken seal or an unattended specimen invalidates the chain of custody and represents an incorrect action on an exam question.
