ASCP BOC ACTUAL FINAL EXAM ALL TIPS
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS SURE A+
✔✔Which of the following is the most reliable test to differentiate Neisseria lactamica
from Neisseria meningidis? - ✔✔lactose degradation
✔✔Which of the following may be used a a positive quality control organism for the bile
esculin test. - ✔✔Enterococcus faecalis
✔✔The major features by which molds are routinely identified are: - ✔✔Macroscopic
characteristice and microscopic morphology
✔✔hemorrhage in polycythemia vera is the result of - ✔✔abnormal platelet funtion
✔✔Vibrio parahemolyticus can be isolated best from feces on: - ✔✔thiosulfate citrate
bile salts (TCBS) agar
✔✔Antibodies composed of IgG immunoglobulin: - ✔✔can cross the placenta from
mother to fetus
✔✔Antibody idiotype is dictated by the: - ✔✔variable regions of the heavy and light
chains
, ✔✔Lithium therapy is widely used on the treatment of: - ✔✔bipolar affective (manic-
depressive) disorder
✔✔after receiving appropriate training, the first step in using a fire extinguisher is to: -
✔✔pull the pin
✔✔Tumor markers found in the circulation are most frequently measured by -
✔✔immunoassays
✔✔your friend calls and asks you to access his test results. Which of the following does
this violate - ✔✔HIPAA
✔✔Which of the following casts most frequently appears to have a brittle consistency? -
✔✔waxy
✔✔Which of the following antigens is most likely to be involved in hemolytic disease of
the newborn? - ✔✔Kell
✔✔A Patient with a coagulopathy was transfused with FP24 (plasma frozen within 24
hours of collection) After infusion of 15mL, the patient experienced hypotension, shock,
chest pain and difficulty in breathing. The most likely cause of the reaction is: - ✔✔anti-
IgA
✔✔False-positive results can occur for fecal occult blood due to the ingestion of: -
✔✔horseradish
✔✔A consistently and repeatedly negative IFA-ANA is: - ✔✔strong evidence against5
untreated SLE
✔✔What kind of antigen-antibody reaction would be expected if soluble antigen is
added to homologous antibody? - ✔✔precipitation
✔✔the Philadelphia chromosome is formed by a translocation between the: - ✔✔long
arm of chromosome 22 and long arm of chromosome 9
✔✔Ten units of group A platelets were transfused to a group AB patient. The
pretransfusion platelet count was 12x10^3/uL and the posttransfusion count was
18x10^3/uL. From this information, the technologist would most likely conclude that the
patient:
a) needs group AB platelets to be effective
b) clinical data does not suggest a need for platelets
c) has developed antibodies to the transfused platelets
