Which form is used for a Request for Results of Tests?

• A. DD Form 1222
• B. DD Form 2973
• C. DD Form 2974
• D. DD Form 1224

Answer: (A)

The key idea is that there is a specific form designated for requesting the results of tests. This form is structured to capture who is requesting the results, what test was done, patient or specimen identifiers, dates, and where to deliver the results. Using this dedicated form ensures the lab can quickly locate the correct test record and send the results to the right place, while also providing a clear, auditable trail of who requested the information and when.

The chosen form is best because it is the one specifically authorized for initiating a result request, including the essential fields needed to identify the test and route the response properly. The other forms are meant for different administrative tasks and do not provide the proper workflow or required fields to obtain test results, so they aren’t appropriate for this purpose.
