Answer to Question 1

D
D. Some specimens require special collection requirements before or following specimen collection. For ammonia levels, tube must be placed in ice for delivery to laboratory.
A. Some specimens require special collection requirements before or following specimen collection. For cryoglobulin levels, use prewarmed test tubes.
B. Some specimens require special collection requirements before or following specimen collection. For vitamin levels, avoid exposure of test tube to light.
C. Some specimens require special collection requirements before or following specimen collection. For lactic acid levels, do not use tourniquet.

Answer to Question 2

B
Keep the injured part immobilized and in alignment. Movement can cause further injury to strains, sprains, or fractures. Cold should be applied directly over the injury. Extreme temperatures can cause tissue damage. After 15 to 20 minutes (or as ordered by the physician), apply clean gloves, remove the compress or pad, and gently dry off any moisture.
