Which of the following fingers is the preferred capillary puncture site for a patient older than 1 year?

A. Label the tube after collection, including the date and time of collection: Labels should be applied to the tube immediately after the sample is collected to ensure accuracy and prevent mix-ups. Including the date and time helps with tracking and documentation.
B. Label the tube after collection, including the provider's name: While it is important to include identifying information, the primary focus should be on the date and time of collection to ensure the sample's accuracy.
C. Label the tube prior to collection, including the date and time of collection: Labels should be applied after the collection to avoid potential errors and ensure the correct sample is labeled.
D. Label the tube prior to collection, including the provider's name: Labeling prior to collection may lead to mistakes if the wrong sample is placed in the labeled tube. The correct practice is to label after collection.

A. Subjective: The subjective section contains information reported by the patient, such as symptoms and experiences, not objective measurements.
B. Objective: Objective measurements, such as vital signs (temperature, pulse, respirations), are documented in the objective section of the health record because they are measurable and observable data.
C. Assessment: The assessment section includes the healthcare provider’s interpretation of the data and diagnosis, not the actual measurements.
D. Plan: The plan section details the proposed treatment or management strategy, not the recorded measurements.
