  3. 15-degree angle.
  4. 5-degree angle.

Question 2

  2. The medical technologist in charge of the laboratory has designated the order based on the facility's protocol.
  3. Some tubes have additives that have the potential to contaminate each of the remaining tubes to be filled.
  4. The collection tube that is filled first has an anticoagulant, which prevents blood from clotting in the remaining tubes to be collected.
