Introduction: The phlebotomist is involved in obtaining the blood specimens and non-blood specimens, administration of tests, instructions for the tests, processing, verifying, labeling, and transporting the specimens to the laboratory. There is a specific standard for non-blood specimens and standard precautions are required to be followed while handling the non-blood specimens.

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