Some things that will cause hemolysis when drawing a blood sample:
leaving the tourniquet on too long
if a syring is used, care must be used not to pull back to quickly or forcefully, this will hemolyze the red blood cells
Also,
Not allowing alcohol at site to dry (if it enters your tube it can cause hemolysis)
Shaking instead of inverting anticoagulant tubes
Leaving the tube on the double ended needle when removing needle from patients vein.
Using the incorrect needle size for the vein. (A small needle on a big vein and a large needle on a small vein)

Can hemolysis cause hypocalcemia?
yes
Difference between alpha and beta hemolysis?
Hemolysis occurs when red blood cells rupture and really cytoplasm into surrounding fluid. Many species of Streptococcal bacteria cause hemolysis and are classified based on their properties. Alpha hemolysis oxidizes iron in hemoglobin, while beta hemolysis completely ruptures red blood cells.
Will a 2 percent solution of sodium chloride cause crenation or hemolysis of a red blood cell?
Crenation of course.
A organism grown on blood cause beta hemolysis can be considered?
group a Streptococcus pyogenes because its sensitive to Bacitracin.
What are the dangers of drinking hypotonic and hemolytic solutions?
Uh... extremity? Too much hypotonic solution could cause hemolysis of the cells, if too much water is forced into them.
Can hemolysis cause hypocalcemia?
yes
Cause of hemolysis?
Hemolysis can be caused by a variety of conditions such as Streptococcus, Enterococcus, Staphylococcus, Plasmodium, or genetic disorders.

Does 2 percent NaCl cause crenation or hemolysis in red blood cells?
crenation
What can be the cause of nerve damage associated with phlebotomy?
If you are the recipient of a blood draw, there are nerves and others structures around the areas of the veins. It is possible for someone to insert a needle into these areas and do damage which may result in permanent injury.

Crenation of course.

What gauge needle is best to prevent hemolysis while transferring blood from a picc line to a lab tube?
hemolysis occurs due to the needle lumen being too small (ie a larger gauge). The larger the needle (or lower gauge), the less likely it will damage the cells and cause hemolysis. Avoid 25g and smaller needles.
Effects of tonicity on hemolysis of red blood cells?
A hypertonic solution will cause the cell to shrink as water leaves the intracellular fluid due to osmosis. A hypotonic solution will lead to water crossing into the cell membrane, causing it to swell, leading to hemolysis.
What happens when you mix red blood cells with dextrose water for transfusion?
clumping hemolysisDextrose % percent can alter red cell permeability and cause hemolysis
Would hypertonic or hypotonic blood serum cause hemolysis?
If a cell is placed into a hypotonic solution, the water will flow into the cell causing it to swell and possibly lyse. If a cell is placed into a hypertonic solution, the water will flow out of the cell causing it to crenate. So hemolysis occurs when the red blood cells lyse.
What is therapeutic phlebotomy?
Therapeutic phlebotomy is the removal of blood from the patient to help with certain diseases. Some diseases cause the over production of blood in the patient that can lead to discomfort and harm. To alleviate the problem the patient will go to a facility to have some of the blood removed.
