Exercise 47

Jera has been asked to collect a fasting blood specimen from a patient named Mr. Boroughs. When she checks to be sure that he has fasted according to instructions, he tells her that he had only a doughnut for breakfast instead of his usual bacon and eggs. When Jera tries to explain that fasting means no food at all, Mr. Boroughs becomes angry and tells her that she had better take his blood now anyway because he is not going to miss any more work. What should Jera do?
