Question

What color tube should be collected for coagulation studies?

a) Blue

b) Red

c) Green

d) Purple

Answer 1

The blue tube should be collected for coagulation studies as it contains sodium citrate, an anticoagulant.

Step-by-step explanation:

The color tube that should be collected for coagulation studies is the blue tube (option a). Coagulation studies assess blood's ability to clot and the blue-top tube contains sodium citrate, which is an anticoagulant that prevents blood from clotting.
