Interpretation of the results must be left to the attending physician. Refrain from discussing laboratory results with the patient.

It is your ultimate responsibility to safeguard laboratory results from unauthorized access by persons not directly involved. Remember that knowledge of the tests and their results are accessible only to the patient, the attending physician, and you—the performing technician.
