What should the phlebotomist ask the patient if a FBS test is ordered?

If they have been fasting
Their age
If they are allergic to latex
Their weight

The correct answer is: If they have been fasting

A phlebotomist should ask the patient if they have been fasting before performing a FBS test because fasting is required for accurate results. Asking about their age or weight is not relevant for this test and their allergies to latex are not necessary for the phlebotomist to know for this particular test.
