About IGNOU BHT-011 Basic Phlebotomy Assistance
BHT-011 builds the core skills a phlebotomy assistant relies on at the collection chair. It begins with conduct, the principles of ethics in phlebotomy practice and the qualities that make a Phlebotomy Assistant a dependable team member in hospital, before moving to the patient in front of you.
The practical heart is the draw itself. You learn the steps in patient preparation for venipuncture, the blood collection system, the inappropriate sites for venipuncture that a safe assistant avoids, and the antiseptics that keep the collection process clean.
The course widens into related blood work and safety. You study arterial blood sampling, blood transfusion and the post-transfusion care of a donor, the modes of transmission of HIV/AIDS, and the requirements of a properly set-up phlebotomy room.

How to Use BHT-011 December 2025 Question Paper to Score in the 2026 Exam
Rehearse this December 2025 IGNOU paper under a real three-hour clock, and give the single Part A essay the depth it needs while still finishing ten Part B notes. The maths matters, since those ten short notes carry 60 of your 70 marks.
Your Part A choice rewards a full account. The ethics of phlebotomy assistance question wants the named principles spelt out, while the patient preparation for venipuncture question wants the steps in their correct order, from identification and consent to site selection.
Part B is won on exact technical detail. A note on the blood collection system should name the components and order of draw, a note on inappropriate sites for venipuncture should list which veins and limbs to avoid and why, and a practical topic like arterial blood sampling rewards the correct sequence and the modified Allen test. Antiseptics, donor care and the phlebotomy room requirements recur often, so prepare more than ten topics to keep your choice safe.
Sample Answer Approach (not a full answer)
Take the Part B note on antiseptics in the blood collection process, worth six marks. Here is the shape of a full-marks note, not the note itself.
Opening: one line on why skin antisepsis prevents contamination of the sample and infection at the puncture site.
Key points to cover: the common agents such as 70 percent isopropyl alcohol and chlorhexidine or povidone-iodine for blood cultures, the correct application in concentric circles, and the need to let the site air-dry before puncture.
A concrete example: using alcohol for a routine draw but a stronger agent when collecting for blood culture.
Closing line: a short note on not re-touching the cleaned site before the needle goes in.
