Blood gas tests are affected upon failure to do what to the tubes?

  1. Shake

  2. Fill completely

  3. Label

  4. Cool

The correct answer is: Cool

Failure to cool the tubes can affect the accuracy of blood gas tests. If the tubes are not properly cooled, the blood may begin to clot, leading to inaccurate results. Options A, B, and C are unrelated to the question and would not result in inaccurate blood gas test results if not done correctly. To obtain accurate results, it is important to follow the proper procedure for cooling the tubes during a blood gas test.
