What is a mathematical indicator of responsiveness of the PT
testing system to deficiencies of the Vitamin K coagulation
factors?
Select one:
a. International normalized ratio (INR)
b. Prothrombin assay
c. International sensitivity index (ISI)
d. Activated partial thromboplastin time - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer >
International sensitivity index (ISI)
Typically, at least one third of uncrossmatched transfusions will
be ABO incompatible and at
least 10% of those
Select one:
a. will lead to a severe or fatal reaction.
b. will create little or no reaction.

c. are always safest.
d. occur outside the United States - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > will lead to
a severe or fatal reaction.
Tests for the vascular factors include the capillary fragility test
and
Select one:
a. cuff test.
b. tourniquet test.
c. capillary resistance test.
d. bleeding time. - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > bleeding time
What is a test system to assess platelet-related primary
hemostasis with greater accuracyand reliability than Bleeding
time?
Select one:
a. Closure time (CT)
b. Bleeding time (BT)
c. Prothrombin time (PT)
d. Thrombin time (TT) - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Closure time (CT)
Thrombin is generated from a precursor of this substance and is
involved in the common pathway of both the extrinsic and the
,Page 3 of 89
intrinsic clotting pathways. What is synthesized by the liver
through the action of Vitamin K?
Select one:
a. Tissue factor
b. Thromboplastin
c. Prothrombin
d. Fibrinogen - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Prothrombin
A doctor's office calls needing help ordering tests for fibrinolysis
but can not recall which test to order. You advise them of the
tests for
Select one:
a. plasmin and plasminogen.
b. fibrin.
c. thrombus.
d. procoagulant. - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > plasmin and plasminogen
You are working in the coagulation department after service has
just finished doing a 6 month preventive maintenance (PM) check
on the coag analyzer that includes removing all current data in
the analyzer. After the PM check, you run quality control (QC) for
prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time
(aPTT). The QC for the aPTT is within 2 SD but the PT control is
outside of 6 SD. In troubleshooting, what might the problem be?
, Page 4 of 89
Select one:
a. QC after maintenance is not really needed so if the pre
maintenance QC is okay, then you can continue with patient
testing.
b. The ISI value that is currently in the instrument was set back
to zero after maintenance and needs to be re-entered before
patient testing is resumed.
c. The controls must be contaminated so make up new controls
and re-run just the PT test.
d. It is normal for the PT to change after a preventive
maintenance, so the range for the
QA - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > The ISI value that is currently in the
instrument was set back to zero after maintenance and needs to
be re-entered before patient testing is resumed.
Rapid tests for D-dimer
Select one:
a. can report qualitative and quantitative results for the D
fragment.
b. can report only qualitative results.
c. can report only quantitative results.
