-{{Discussion}}
-bottles from 1 venipuncture site, this is not a complete blood culture and the question is "why would a unit not be following a protocol"?
-{{Usually it is because of difficulty accessing blood from patients so staff were not able to send all 3 bottles}}
-Should only be counted as ONE SET of blood cultures.
