a phlebotomy technician is preparing to collect a blood specimen from a patient. which of the following statements should the technician make prior to performing the venipuncture? \your provider has requested this test.\ \im going to put my supplies here on your bedside table.\ \i already have the supplies open to save time.\ \we can leave all the lights off during the procedure.\

Answer

# Brief Explanations: Before performing venipuncture, it is important to inform the patient why the test is being done. Telling the patient that their provider has requested the test gives them context and helps with patient - understanding and consent. The other statements are about supplies or lighting and do not address the key aspect of patient - communication regarding the test. # Answer: "Your provider has requested this test."
