Default Data Reviewed Points question

Could someone please help. When totalling the points for the data reviewed do you count a point for each test? example if a urinalysis and blood test are both ordered do you get 2 points?

If there is more than one lab, then you only get one point. You only give one point per category, regardless of the number of tests.

I agree, you only get one point.
