A Laboratory Technician Performs a Spun Microhematocrit

A laboratory technician performs a spun microhematocrit. Anxious that the end of her shift is near, she stops the centrifuge herself instead of allowing it to stop on its own. She reads her tubes on three male adult patients and obtains values of 54%, 58%, and 59%. What should she do now?

A) She can leave since she got all of her work done.
B) Set up new tubes on all three patients and repeat the procedure without stopping the centrifuge.
C) The values for the patients are within normal range so there's no need to repeat the procedure.
D) Call the physician and report the high values for all three patients.
E) Tell another technician to repeat the test for her since her shift is over.
