I just took this class and became certified in phlebotomy and my teacher realy taught on this so the answer is. When wearing PPE the two goals that are met are the safety or yourself and the prevention of the spread of infection.....

Answer 2

Establish safety and prevent infections.

Step-by-step explanation:

Phlebotomy is the placement of a catheter into a blood vessel for the purpose of administering medication to patients with difficult venous access or to monitor central venous pressure, or even to bleed, which is an ancient medical practice designed to decrease iron stores or red blood cells, as in cases of hemochromatosis or polycythemia vera.

During phlebotomy, it is important for the professional to wear personal protective equipment to ensure patient and patient safety, and to avoid contamination through the patient's body fluids.
