There is no order of draw. A comprehensive metabolic panel is just one tube, an SST or serum separator tube.
The tube used to draw blood for a comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP) test is typically color-coded as either red or tiger top (gold/yellow with a red ring).
A gold or red-top vacutainer tube is typically used for a basic metabolic panel (BMP) blood draw.
A red-top or gold-top tube is commonly used to collect blood for a comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP) test. The specific color may vary by laboratory or healthcare facility, so it's always best to follow their guidelines for specimen collection.

The color of the top tube for a BMP (Basic Metabolic Panel) blood draw is typically gold or red-gray, depending on the manufacturer. It is important to verify the specific tube color with the healthcare provider or laboratory performing the blood draw to ensure accurate collection.
For a basic comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP) blood test, you typically do not need to fast.

It's best to follow the instructions given by your healthcare provider for the most accurate results.
You draw it. Or you can use the Math Input Panel (in start menu) to draw a line with numbers underneath.
If you forget to draw the prothrombin time test (PTT) after conducting a complete blood count (CBC) and iron panel, you may miss important information regarding the patient's coagulation status. This oversight could affect the management of conditions related to bleeding or clotting. It's essential to notify the healthcare provider and arrange for the PTT to be drawn as soon as possible to ensure comprehensive patient evaluation. Documentation of the oversight is also important for continuity of care.
