Which one of the following statements regarding the pre-analytical phase is CORRECT?Group of answer choicesPoint of care testing aims at increasing specimen’s turnaround time.The use of drones for sample transportation is prohibited.Automated transport systems add more steps to the pre-analytical process.Monocytes and neutrophils are stable in samples even after overnight storage.

The correct statement regarding the pre-analytical phase is: "Monocytes and neutrophils are stable in samples even after overnight storage."

Here's why:

1. Point of care testing aims at decreasing specimen’s turnaround time, not increasing. This means getting the results faster.

2. The use of drones for sample transportation is not universally prohibited. It depends on the regulations of the specific country or region.

3. Automated transport systems are designed to reduce steps and human error in the pre-analytical process, not to add more steps.

4. Monocytes and neutrophils, which are types of white blood cells, are indeed stable in samples even after overnight storage. This means they don't degrade or change significantly, which could affect test results.
