What will happen to the lab results if you have a short draw in a Light Blue tube?

Results will be inaccurate
Answers will not be there
No effect
Tube will explode

The correct answer is: Answers will not be there

A short draw in a Light Blue tube means there is not enough blood collected to properly perform the necessary tests. This can lead to incorrect results or the inability to obtain any results at all. Options A and C are incorrect because they suggest the results will be unaffected, which is not the case with a short draw. Option D is incorrect as the tube will not explode due to a short draw, as it is a common occurrence and appropriate safety measures are taken to prevent any explosions in the lab.
