The nurse will not label an evacuated tube before entering the patient's room because
1. The nurse could accidently use the labeled tube for the wrong patient.
2. Tubes should be labeled after they have all been filled and the nurse has left the patient's room, just before being sent to the laboratory.

4. Labeling the tube later ensures that the writing on the label is more legible.
