Telling the client that no special preparation is needed

No special preparation is needed for the blood test for H. pylori. Withholding intake after midnight is incorrect because the client is not NPO before the test. Explaining that a small dose of radioactive isotope will be used is incorrect because it refers to preparation for the breath test. Giving an oral suspension of glucose 1 hour before the test is incorrect because glucose is not administered before the test.
