What precautions should one take before a drug test?

Before taking a drug test, follow these precautions for accurate results:
1. Know the Test Requirements: Understand the type of test (urine, blood, hair, or saliva) and follow any instructions provided.
2. Avoid Restricted Substances: Refrain from using substances that could result in a positive test, including certain medications and supplements.
3. Disclose Medications: Inform the administrator about any medications you're taking to prevent false positives.
4. Hydrate Properly: Stay hydrated but avoid over-hydrating, which can dilute urine.
5. Follow Dietary Guidelines: Avoid foods like poppy seeds that can affect results.
6. Avoid Secondhand Smoke: Stay away from environments with illicit substances.
7. Get Adequate Sleep: Be well-rested to provide a reliable sample.
8. Follow Instructions Carefully: Adhere to pre-test instructions, such as fasting.
