Answer to Problem 1SRQ

Correct answer: “Additional information typically required on a non-blood specimen label includes the specimen type.” Hence, option d. is the correct answer.

Explanation of Solution

Reason for the correct answer:

Option d. is given as “specimen type”.

The non-blood specimen should be body fluids. As some body fluids are similar in the appearance, the labeling of the fluid may include the source of the specimen and the type of the specimen. The labeling of the specimen should be applied to the specimen container.

Hence, the correct answer is option d.

Reasons for incorrect answers:

Option a. is given as “billing code”.

Billing code is not for specimen identification and labeling. Hence, option a. is incorrect.

Option b. is given as “party to be charged”.

In nonblood specimen label, it is not necessary to include the party to be charged. Hence, option b. is incorrect.

Option c. is given as “physician”.

For specimen identification and labeling, a physician is not required. Hence, option c. is incorrect.

Hence the options a., b., and c. are incorrect.

Conclusion

The additional information needed on a non-blood specimen labeling is the specimen type.
