Blood tests are used to diagnose illness, evaluate the effectiveness of medications and determine whether a patient is receiving proper nutrition.he phlebotomist then locates a vein and inserts a needle, a process called venipuncture.. Phlebotomists can also sample blood through skin puncture, such as pricking a finger to test a patientâs blood sugar or determine blood type.
