i do not have the answer to this question so pls give your answers with explanation.
i'll go for C as the answer. the patients right to refuse can be withheld in this situation as his physical condition is dangerous to others so its not D. A is never and option. if the lab cant do it then we can withdraw more blood.
pls give your answers with explanations.

D
if driver refuges to take test, his or her driving privilege is automatically suspeded for one year.
this is a rule.
that suggest that you have to take consent.
you can find this rule in any DRIVER'S HAND BOOK.
