Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: A blood chemistry is a number of tests performed on blood serum. It can include LDH, CK, AST.
Rationale 2: The capillary blood glucose is used to determine or monitor blood glucose levels of clients at one point in time but not over time.
Rationale 3: The glycosylated hemoglobin or hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is a measurement of blood glucose that is bound to hemoglobin. Hemoglobin A1c is a reflection of how well blood glucose levels have been controlled.
Rationale 4: Serum electrolytes are often routinely ordered for any client admitted to a hospital as a screening test for electrolyte and acidbase imbalances. The most commonly ordered serum tests are for sodium, potassium, chloride, and bicarbonate ions.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Assessing the data occurs in the pretest phase.
Rationale 2: Collecting the specimen comes during the intratest phase.
Rationale 3: Observing the client occurs in the post-test phase as follow-up after the testing.
