Ultimate Phlebotomy Color Quiz - 1

Grey tubes are used for tests such as GTT (Glucose Tolerance Test), FBS (Fasting Blood Sugar), Glucose, Blood Alcohol, and Lactic Acid. These tests are commonly performed to measure blood glucose levels, assess glucose tolerance, detect diabetes or monitor blood alcohol levels. The grey tubes contain an additive called sodium fluoride and potassium oxalate, which help preserve the glucose in the blood sample and inhibit the growth of bacteria. This ensures accurate and reliable test results for these specific analytes.

A Lavender tube is used for the CBC (Complete Blood Count) and ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) tests. The CBC test provides information about the number and types of blood cells, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. The ESR test measures the rate at which red blood cells settle in a tube, which can indicate inflammation or infection in the body.

Vein C is the basilic vein. The basilic vein is one of the major veins located in the upper limb. It runs along the inner side of the arm and forearm and is responsible for draining blood from the hand, forearm, and arm. It is commonly used for venipuncture or drawing blood as it is easily accessible and has a relatively straight path.

The correct answer is Median Cubital because it is the only option that matches the description given in the question. The other options, Median Cephalic, Cephalic, and Basilic, do not correspond to vein B.

The correct order to draw the tests is Lt. Blue, Lavender, Royal Blue.
The Lt. Blue tube is used for the PTT (Partial Thromboplastin Time) test, which measures how long it takes for blood to clot.
The Lavender tube is used for the CBC (Complete Blood Count) test, which provides information about the different types of blood cells.
The Royal Blue tube is used for the trace element test for heavy metals, which detects the presence of certain metals in the blood.
