Q

who collects nonblood specimens?

A

phlebotomist

The phlebotomist may be involved in obtaining the specimens (e.g., throat swab collection), test administration (e.g., sweat chloride collection), instruction (e.g., urine collection), processing (accessioning and preparing the specimen for testing), or simply verifying labeling, and transporting the specimens to the lab.
