Use the Potassium Laboratory Test Guide Below to answer the following Question: Laboratory Test Guide Test Name:  Potassium Specimen Type:  Blood Container:  Green top (Li Heparin tube), preferred  Alternate Tube: red, marble or gold top tube Specimen Processing:  Centrifuge specimen within 1 hour of collection and remove serum/plasma aliquot into a plastic sample container/cup Optimal Volume:  1 mL Minimum Volume:  0.2 mL Transportation/Storage:  Room Temperature Causes for Rejection:   Hemolysis, Lipemia, Bilirubinemia (icterus) Reference Range:  3.5 – 5.2 mmol/L Critical Values:  6.0 mmol/L   You are going to run a Potassium Assay on Blood Samples.  The Potassium Lab Test Guide above states causes for rejection include “hemolysis, lipemia, bilirubinemia”. State 2 other Specimen Quality Markers for Rejection that would cause a specimen to be rejected for this assay–in other words, other than the presence of interferents, why would a specimen be rejected for this assay?  State 2, if more than 2 answers are given then points will be deducted, regardless if they are correct.
