A requisition for a peak gentamicin level says draw at 0930. At 0915, the nurse says the dose finished late at 0845 instead of 0800 and asks the phlebotomist to collect now because the patient is leaving for imaging. What should the phlebotomist do?
Clarify the correct draw time with the nurse or ordering instructions before collection and document the actual collection time.
Draw at 0915 because the patient is available and the requisition already has a timed order.
Cancel the test because any delayed dose makes therapeutic drug monitoring invalid.
Draw two tubes, one now and one after imaging, and let the laboratory choose.
