Correct answer: “Blood gas test requires an arterialized specimen”.
Therefore, option b. is correct.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for the correct statement:
Option b. is given as “Blood gases”.
Blood gas test is also called as Arterial Blood Gases (ABGs). This test is done to evaluate the function of lung by measuring the blood pH, oxygen, and carbon dioxide, or to detect the acid-base balance in the body. The blood sample for ABG is collected from artery. Arterialized specimen is the specimen that is obtained from a warmed site. The warming site is important for collection of capillary pH or blood gas specimen.
Hence, option b. is correct.
Reasons for incorrect statements:
Option a. is given as “Bilirubin”.
An arterialized specimen is not required in bilirubin test.
So, option a. in incorrect.
Option c. is given as “Electrolytes”.
An arterialized specimen is not required in electrolyte test.
So, option c. is incorrect.
Option d. is given as “glucose”.
An arterialized specimen is not required in glucose test.
So, option d. is incorrect.
Hence, options a., c., and d. are incorrect.
An arterialized specimen is required in blood gas test.
