Answer to Question 1

You must tell the patient that the physician requested that the test be collected fasting. If the patient still insists that the sample be collected, you will need to call the physician to see if a nonfasting sample is acceptable. The physician may need to talk to the patient to insist that the test needs to be collected fasting.
