If a BUN and Creatinine are ordered, for what should the Phlebotomist check with the patient?

For fasting state
For allergic reactions
Nothing, there are no fasting requirements for this test
For prior activity levels

The correct answer is: Nothing, there are no fasting requirements for this test

When BUN and Creatinine tests are ordered, there is no need for the phlebotomist to check if the patient is fasting. This is because these tests are used to measure the levels of urea and creatinine in the blood, which are not affected by food intake. Option A and D may seem like reasonable choices, but they are not relevant to this specific situation. Option A may be relevant for some other tests, such as blood glucose, but it does not apply in this case. Similarly, option D may be important for certain medical procedures, but it is not relevant for blood tests. Option B, checking for allergic reactions, is not relevant as it is not related to the test being performed. Therefore, the correct answer is C Nothing, there are no fasting requirements for this test.
