MLS ASCP EXAMS VERIFIED QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
ANSWERS
2-year old girl with anemia Normo-Normo, Retics 0.1%, WBC and Platelets normal
- ANSWERS-Pure Red Cell Aplasia
4 nuclei may have chromatoidal bars large, round glycogen vacuole
- ANSWERS-E. Histolytica
5HIAA
- ANSWERS-carcinoid tumors
a alcoholic person who went to the emergency arrhythmia, what should be measured
- ANSWERS-ethanol , Mg, K something like that
A patient is tested for primidone, what other test can you perform?
- ANSWERS-Phenobarbital
A sodium citrate tube was drawn for a HCT on a pt but the hematocrit was abnormal
- ANSWERS-recollect with decreased anticoagulant. high hct (>55%) causes low plasma so you need less
anticoagulant
ABO discovery
- ANSWERS-Landsteiner
Absorbance formula
- ANSWERS-2-log%T
According to Beers law
- ANSWERS-directly proportional to the amount of light absorbed, or inversely proportional to transmitted
light.
adsorption that had been done twice, and antibody screen is positive
- ANSWERS-perform antibody ID panel
,ALP elevation seen in
- ANSWERS-Hepatic Carcinoma?
ALP seen in
- ANSWERS-liver and bone
ANA pattern with fluorescing speckled or nucleolar
- ANSWERS-(check every pattern)
Antacid overdose
- ANSWERS-Check pH
Anti-A Anti-B A B
0 2mf+ 4+ 0
- ANSWERS-Discrepancy due to Bx-subgroup
anti-C antibody present
- ANSWERS-A patient serum reacts with 2 of the 3 antibody screening cells at the AHG phase. Eight of the
10 units crossmatched were incompatible at the AHG phase. All reactions are markedly enhanced by
enzymes. These results are most consistent with:
Antibodies from which of the following blood group systems are notorious for causing delayed hemolytic
transfusion reactions?
- ANSWERS-Kidd. Anti-Jka and anti-Jkb are often weakly reactive and often drop to undetectable levels
in the serum.
Antibody that deteriorates in storage
- ANSWERS-P1
Arixtra (fondaparinux), Coumadin, Warfilone, Jantoven (warfarin) and Heparin (prescription blood
thinners); must wait how many days after stopping to donate?
- ANSWERS-7 days
, Baby A+, DAT-, Mother O- before birth
- ANSWERS-Rosette test
bacitracin test can also be used to differentiate:
- ANSWERS-bacitracin-resistant Staphylococcus from the bacitracin-susceptible Micrococcus.
Bacteria grows pink on McConkey, Indol(-), citrate (+), Lysine decarboxylase (-), ONPG (+)
- ANSWERS-Enterobacter cloacae
Bacteria isolated from a wound TSI A/A, oxidase (+), The most likely organism is
- ANSWERS-Aeromonas
Bacteria LAP(-), Bile esculin (+), NaCl (growth), PYR(-)
- ANSWERS-Leuconostoc
basophilic stippling
- ANSWERS-high lead results
BHCG tumor marker
- ANSWERS-chorocarcinoma
Bile Eschulin and 6.5% NaCL pos
- ANSWERS-distinguishes Enterococcus species from the group D strep
Bile esculin +, NaCl-, alpha hemolytic, looked like a strep
- ANSWERS-Group D (strep gallolyticus/bovis)
Blastomyces dermatitidis
- ANSWERS-
Blood EDTA given to the lab 6hrs after draw will most effect
- ANSWERS-I chose platelets
