CPC Donor Identification & Verification Flashcards

What is the primary purpose of verifying a donor's identity before a urine drug test collection?

Answer: To ensure the specimen belongs to the correct individual

Verifying donor identity ensures the specimen is linked to the correct person and maintains the integrity of the chain of custody.

Which form of identification is most commonly acceptable for verifying a donor's identity under DOT guidelines?

Answer: A photo ID such as a driver's license or government-issued ID

DOT guidelines require photo identification to positively confirm the donor's identity before collection.

If a donor does not have a photo ID, what action may a collector take under DOT regulations?

Answer: Accept a positive identification by a supervisor or employer representative

DOT regulations allow an employer representative or supervisor to vouch for a donor's identity when photo ID is unavailable.

What information must be confirmed from the donor's ID before beginning the collection process?

Answer: Full legal name and a photo match

The collector must verify the donor's full legal name and confirm that the photo on the ID matches the individual presenting.

A donor refuses to provide identification before a federally mandated drug test. What should the collector do?

Answer: Document the refusal and notify the employer or DER

A refusal to provide identification is treated as a refusal to test, requiring the collector to document it and inform the Designated Employer Representative (DER).

How should a collector handle a situation where the name on the custody and control form (CCF) does not match the donor's presented ID?

Answer: Correct the discrepancy on the CCF before proceeding and document the change

Any name discrepancy must be corrected and documented on the CCF to maintain accurate chain of custody records.
