Solution

The worker's conclusion would be that the blood sample is not from a human. This is because mature human red blood cells do not have a nucleus. The presence of many nucleated red blood cells could suggest that the blood sample is from a bird, reptile, or fish, as these animals have nucleated red blood cells. However, further testing would be needed to confirm the species of origin for the blood sample.
