    What is the principle behind doing a meter check?

    • To test the patience of the phlebotomists.

    • To determine the accuracy of the lab's glucose meter.

    • To determine if the phlebotomist can draw blood correctly.

    • To determine the accuracy of the patient's glucose monitoring unit.

    Correct Answer
    A. To determine the accuracy of the patient's glucose monitoring unit.
    Explanation
    A meter check is done to determine the accuracy of the patient's glucose monitoring unit. This is important because the accuracy of the glucose meter is crucial in monitoring and managing a patient's blood sugar levels. By performing a meter check, healthcare professionals can ensure that the glucose meter is providing accurate readings, which in turn helps in making appropriate treatment decisions for the patient.

    Meter results must aggree within +/- ______% of the corresponding lab result to be considered within acceptable limits.

    • 5%

    • 10%

    • 3%

    • 15%

    • 25%

    Correct Answer
    A. 15%
    Explanation
    Meter results must agree within +/- 15% of the corresponding lab result to be considered within acceptable limits. This means that the meter readings should not deviate by more than 15% from the lab results. If the difference between the meter reading and the lab result is within this range, it is considered acceptable and reliable. However, if the deviation exceeds 15%, it may indicate a significant discrepancy between the meter and lab results, raising concerns about the accuracy of the meter.

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Gold Top
    A. Grey Top
    A. Mint Green Top
    Explanation
    The Gold Top, Grey Top, and Mint Green Top tubes are acceptable for collection of lab tested glucose. The Gold Top tube contains a gel separator and is used for serum separation. The Grey Top tube contains an anticoagulant called sodium fluoride and is used for glucose testing. The Mint Green Top tube contains lithium heparin and is used for plasma separation. All three tubes are suitable for collecting and testing glucose levels in the laboratory.
