Activity 1: Hematocrit Determination
Name: Morris
Date: 19 February 2026
Session ID: session
Pre-lab Quiz Results
You scored 100% by answering 4 out of 4 questions correctly.
1 Hematocrit

Predict Question
1 Predict Question: Predict how the hematocrits of the patients living in Denver, Colorado
(approximately one mile above sea level), will compare with the hematocrit levels of the
patients living in Boston, Massachusetts (at sea level).
Your answer: The hematocrits of the Denver residents will be higher than those of the
Boston residents.
Stop & Think Question
1 Why would the hemoglobin levels of an anemic patient be lower than the hemoglobin levels
of a normal, healthy individual?
You correctly answered: Because hemoglobin resides in RBCs, you would anticipate a low
hematocrit level to coincide with a low hemoglobin level.
