Phlebotomy Technician Practice Exam (NCPT/CPT)

The data on the patient's armband should be used to label what?

1. medical records

2. collection tubes

3. patient charts

4. bedside notes

The correct answer is: collection tubes

The data on the patient's armband should be used to label collection tubes. Option A is incorrect because medical records are typically labeled with the patient's name and other identifying information, not just the information on the armband. Option C is incorrect because patient charts are also labeled with more detailed information, such as the patient's medical history and current medications. Option D is incorrect because bedside notes are typically labeled with the patient's name and room number, not just the information on the armband. Therefore, option B is the most appropriate choice for labeling the collection tubes with the patient's information.
