Ace the Phlebotomy Tech Challenge 2025 – Stick It to the Test and Succeed!

Question: 1 / 400

What should the phlebotomist ask the patient if an FBS is ordered?

Are you allergic to anything?

Have you exercised today?

Have you had anything to drink within the past 8-10 hrs.?

A) While asking about allergies is important, it is not directly related to an FBS (Fasting Blood Sugar) test.

B) Exercising does not have a direct impact on FBS levels, so it is not necessary for the phlebotomist to ask this question.

D) The patient's current well-being is important, but it does not specifically relate to their ability to fast for 8-10 hours before the FBS test.

Overall, the phlebotomist should ask about the patient's food and drink intake within the past 8-10 hours to ensure they have fasted and the FBS test can accurately measure their blood sugar levels.
