Assume that a patient has been identified properly. An error in the patient's preparation for a fasting glucose (so that the patient was collected in a nonfasting state) will affect which phases of the testing process?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The error in patient preparation for a fasting glucose test will only affect the preexamination phase, where the patient's condition and preparation for the test are verified. The examination and postexamination phases involve the actual testing procedure and the analysis and reporting of results, respectively, which are not affected by the patient's fasting state.
