Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

Screening Programs and Fasting Requirements:

Certain screening tests, like fasting blood glucose or lipid profiles, require fasting for accurate results.

Nurse's Response:

Not Eligible: Incorrect as the patient can still participate in parts of the screening.

Come Tomorrow: Not the most efficient use of the patient's time.

No Worries: Incorrect as fasting is important for some tests.

Take History Now, Blood Test Later: The best response as it makes efficient use of the current visit for history taking and schedules the blood test for another time when fasting can be ensured.

I agree, C is the correct answer. We shouldn't turn away patients just because they had breakfast. The nurse can still gather valuable information and schedule the blood test later.
