2026 COMPLETE QUESTIONS AND
SOLUTIONS
◉Beers Law. Answer: absorbance of light increases with increasing
concentration of absorbing solution.
◉100 mg/dL (55mmol/L). Answer: If a fasting glucose was 90
mg/dL, which of the following 2-hour postprandial glucose results
would most closely represent normal glucose metabolism?
◉50/mg/dL (2.3 mmol/L). Answer: A healthy person with a blood
glucose of 80 mg/dL (4.4 mmol/L) would have a simultaneously
determined cerebrospinal fluid glucose value of:
◉200 mg/dL ( 11.0 mmol/L). Answer: Which of the following 2-
hour postprandial glucose values demonstrates unequivocal
hyperglycemia diagnostic for diabetes mellitus?
◉draw blood for glucose and discontinue test. Answer: A 25 y/o
man became nauseated and vomited 90 mins after receiving a
,standard 75g carbohydrate dose for an oral glucose tolerance test.
The best course of action is to:
◉analyzed daily. Answer: Cerebrospinal fluid for glucose assay
should be:
◉lower than adults. Answer: Serum levels that define hypoglycemia
in pre-term or low birth weight infants are:
◉glucose tolerance test. Answer: Pregnant women with symptoms
of thirst, frequent urination or unexplained weight loss should have
which of the following test preformed?
◉glycolysis. Answer: The conversion of glucose or other hexoses
into lactate or pyruvate is called.
◉improving state of metabolic control as indicated by fructosamine.
Answer: After review these test results, the technologist concluded
that the patient is in a:
◉average blood glucose levels of the past 2-3 months. Answer: Total
glycosylated hemoglobin levels in a hemolysate reflect the:
, ◉A1c. Answer: Which of the following hemoglobin has glucose-6-
phoshate on the amino-terminal valine of the beta chain?
◉show a decrease in glycated Hgb value. Answer: A patient with
hemolytic anemia will:
◉Hgb S. Answer: In using ion-exchange chromatographic methods,
falsely increased levels of Hgb A1c might be demonstrated in the
presence of:
◉carbohydrates. Answer: An increase in serum acetone is indicative
of a defect in the metabolism of:
◉further test are indicated. Answer: An infant with diarrehea is
being evaluated for a carbohydrate intolerance. His stool yields a
positive copper reduction test and a 5.0. It Should be concluded that:
◉elevated lactic acid, elevated pyruvate. Answer: Blood samples
were collected at the beginning of an exercise class and thirty
minutes of aerobic activity. Which of the following would be most
consistent with the post-exercise sample?
◉H2 breath test. Answer: What is the best method to diagnose
lactase deficiency?
