Phil the New Phlebotomy Tech is starting his first day! He is arranging the order for his morning run. Phil has two routine draws: one fasting draw and one stat E.R. draw. Phil knows fasting tests should be drawn before routine tests on the morning run, Phil also knows the fasting draw is located on his way to the stat draw. This is how he arranges his run: Fasting draw, Stat draw, Routine draws. Has Phil the New Phlebotomy Tech prioritized his work correctly?
  1. Yes, Phil has prioritized correctly.
  2. No, the stat draw is the priority.

A request for a stat draw indicates the patient is in grave condition and/or decisions for treatment will be determined by results of requested test.
