Answer:

It will cause no problem with the sequential results.

Step-by-step explanation:

Both finger puncture and Venipuncture are biometric screening processes.

GTT is an acronym for Glucose Tolerance Test.

In GTT, the subject is required to ingest a glucose solution. After they have done so, blood samples are drawn afterward at intervals to measure the degree to which the cells of the subject are able to absorb glucose. These samples may be collected using the Figure puncture or Venipuncture

Finger puncture is the process of drawing blood from the fingertip by puncturing it with a lancet. This process collects only a small amount of blood (about two or three drops of blood or more).

Venipuncture on the other hand refers to the collection of blood from the vein. In this process, blood is collected to fill one or more vials. A vial is about 0.25 Milliliters.

Finger punctures are less invasive and less painful than Venipuncture.
