Question 1 of 5
A nurse is obtaining a 2-hr postprandial blood glucose from a client. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D

A) can dilute the blood sample and affect accuracy. Smearing the blood onto the reagent strip (
B) can lead to inaccurate results. Holding the finger above the heart prior to puncture (
