QUESTIONS AND SOLUTIONS GUARANTEE A+
✔✔Butterfly - ✔✔a small needle with two plastic wings attached which are squeezed
together to form a tab that is used to manipulate the needle. A long 6-12" plastic tubing
is attached which again offers better manipulation.
✔✔CaviCide - ✔✔A convenient, ready-to-use, intermediate-level surface disinfectant
that is effective against TB, HBV, HCV, viruses, bacteria and fungi.
✔✔CDC - ✔✔Centers for disease control and prevention
✔✔what does C.Diff stand for? - ✔✔clostridium Difficile
✔✔what does clostridium difficile - ✔✔a bacteria that is found in all things. the bacteria
inside of our bodies can be triggered by taking antibiotics, which then causes colitis, an
inflammation of the colon.
✔✔CLIA - ✔✔the clinical laboratory improvement amendments of 1988 federal
regulatory standards that apply to all clinical laboratory testing performed on humans on
the United States
✔✔CLIA Requirement for Waived Testing - ✔✔all facilities in the U.S. that perform lab
testing on human specimens for health assessment or the diagnosis, prevention, or
treatment of disease are regulated under CLIA
✔✔what does CLSI stand for? - ✔✔The Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute
✔✔what does the CLSI do? - ✔✔promotes the development and use of voluntary
laboratory consensus standards and guidelines within the health care community.
✔✔define creatinine clearance - ✔✔a 24-hour urine and serum test that is both a blood
and urine collection.
*specimens must be handled and stored (refrigerated) correctly
✔✔define C-reactive protein (CRP) - ✔✔a blood test marker for inflammation in the
body. It is produced in the liver and its level is measured by testing the blood.
- this protein is an acute phase reactant which means that its levels will RISE in
response to inflammation
✔✔what type of tubes can be used for drawing a CRP? - ✔✔either a serum separator
tube (SST) or lavander top tube depending on if serum or plasma is required for the test
, ✔✔Diurnal Variations - ✔✔The measuring of a body's ability to metabolize certain
substances, monitoring changes in the patients condition within a 24-hour period
✔✔what does EDTA stand for? - ✔✔Ethylenediaminetetraacetate
✔✔what is EDTA? - ✔✔a calcium binding agent that is used as an anticoagulant for
laboratory blood specimens.
✔✔define Ethanol - ✔✔another name for alcohol, also referred to as ETOH
✔✔fomite - ✔✔an inanimate object that transports microorganisms
✔✔guage - ✔✔what needle diameter is measured by.
the larger the needle, the smaller the guage
✔✔geriatrics - ✔✔branch of medicine dealing with diseases, debilities and care of aged
persons
✔✔good samaritan law - ✔✔this law deals with the rendering of first aid by health care
professionals at the scene of an accident or sudden injury. it encourages health care
professionals to provide medical care within their scope of training without fear of being
sued for negligence.
✔✔glucose - ✔✔the end product of carbohydrate metabolism and is the chief source of
energy for all living organisms
✔✔glucometer - ✔✔a device that individuals with diabetes use to measure the amount
of sugar in their blood stream
✔✔what is Helicobacter pylori? - ✔✔a common type of bacteria that grows in the
digestive tract and has a tendency to attack the stomach lining.
✔✔hemochron - ✔✔a comprehensive point-of-care coagulation monitoring system.
note: This is not the industry standard and practitioners may use an alternative
✔✔hematoma - ✔✔a localized collection of blood within tissues due to leakage from the
wall of a blood vessel, producing a bluish discoloration (ecchymosis) and pain
AKA: bruise
✔✔hematuria - ✔✔blood in urine
