Which term includes gloves, requisition form, alcohol wipes, lancet, gauze, microtainer collection tubes, capillary tubes, neonatal screen, sharps container?

• A. capillary puncture equipment
• B. Sorting mail
• C. capillary puncture process
• D. Receivables

Answer: (C)

The items listed cover every step and component involved in performing a capillary puncture and handling its specimen, not just the tools. Gloves protect both patient and practitioner, a requisition form handles ordering and tracking the test, alcohol wipes sanitize the puncture site, the lancet makes the puncture, gauze manages bleeding, microtainer collection tubes and capillary tubes hold and transport the blood, neonatal screen is a common test obtained this way, and a sharps container provides safe disposal of used needles and lancets. This breadth fits the capillary puncture process best because it includes preparation, collection, testing, and disposal, whereas the other options focus only on equipment, are unrelated, or describe financial tasks.
