It is important to know whether or not the patient has done what in the past 8-10 hours if an FBS is ordered?

  1. Slept

  2. Eaten

  3. Exercised

  4. Drank water

The correct answer is: Eaten

It is important to know whether or not the patient has eaten in the past 8-10 hours if an FBS (fasting blood sugar) test is ordered because the test requires the patient to fast for at least 8 hours before the blood sample is taken. If the patient has eaten in the past 8-10 hours, the results of the test may not accurately reflect their true blood sugar levels. Therefore, options A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not directly relate to the fasting requirement for the FBS test.
