Changing needless caps after blood draws?

I recently read an article or a posting here that said pos-pressure(or other)needleless caps should be

changed routinely after blood draws since it was impossible to completely clear out all blood with

flushing.  I'm unable to locate this info.  Do any of you know of this article or other info on this

subject?

Thanks, Tanya

I have never seen this
I have never seen this published in the form of a research study but it is the opinion of many nurses in clinical practice. Lynn
