That's right Nicole, the tourniquet can really distort results. However in the hospital I worked, we were not permitted to take blood samples though the IV even when it was just being inserted. It was considered a risk of infection and the bouncing of the blood from side to side along the canula was supposed to break blood cells and give inaccurate readings.
