With Complete Study Tests
.A calculated ABG value that indicates excess or insufficiency of HCO3 is? -
ANSWER-Base Excess
.A patient with prolonged nausea, Vomitting, diarrhea, will likely have an ABG
result of? - ANSWER-Metabolic Acidosis
.Are only intact leukocytes detected in urine? - ANSWER-The leukocyte test strip
will detect intact and lyzed leukocytes
.Are only intact leukocytes detected in urine? - ANSWER-The leukocyte test strip
will detect intact and lyzed leukocytes
.Clone vs. Strain - ANSWER-Clone is a population of cells derived from a single
cell
Strain is genetically different cells within a clone
.Conjugation - ANSWER-Donor contracts recipient through a sex pilis. This
results in both cells having identical copies of the genetic material
.Define Antisepsis - ANSWER-The destruction of microbial life on living tissue
(endospores may survive)
,.Define Disinfection - ANSWER-The destruction of microbial life on an inanimate
object
.Define Sterilization - ANSWER-The destruction of all microbial life
.Describe the following:
Ph = normal but <7.40
PaCO2 = up
HCO3 = up - ANSWER-Fully Compensated (pH is fixed)
Respiratory (because the pH and the PaCO2 are opposite to each other and the
HCO3 is opposite to the pH for compensation)
Acidosis (pH is slightly lower)
.Describe the following:
Ph = normal but <7.40
PaCO2 = down
HCO3 = down - ANSWER-Fully Compensated b/c pH is normal
Metabolic disorder because the pH and the HCO3 are moving in the same
direction and the PaCO2 is opposite as it should be because the lungs are
compensating to correct the pH
Acidosis because the pH is slightly lower
,.Describe the following:
Ph = normal but >7.40
PaCO2 = down
HCO3 = down - ANSWER-Fully Compensated (pH is fixed)
Respiratory (because the pH and the PaCO2 are opposite to each other and the
HCO3 is opposite to the pH for compensation)
Alkalosis because the pH is slightly higher
.Describe the following:
Ph = normal but >7.40
PaCO2 = up
HCO3 = up - ANSWER-Fully Compensated b/c pH is normal
Metabolic disorder because the pH and the HCO3 are moving in the same
direction and the PaCO2 is opposite as it should be because the lungs are
compensating to correct the pH
Alkalosis because the pH is slightly higher
.Describe the PB smear of Sickle Cell Disease - ANSWER-Normocytic/
Normochromic
Poikliocytosis & Anisocytosis
Target Cells
, NRBC's
Spherocytes
Basophillic stippling
Pappenheimer bodies
Howell jolly bodies
Polychromasia
Leukocytosis with neutrophilia and mild shift
Thrombocytosis
IgA increase
Normal ferritin
Increased bilirubin (jaundice)
.Explain Cold Agglutinin Disease - ANSWER-IgM antibodies bind to RBC's after
cold exposure in circulation
IgM AB's initiate the complement pathway
Extravascular hemolysis by hepatic macrophages that are removing the C3b
portion from the RBC membrane
.Explain ion exchange chromatography? - ANSWER-Charged beads will attract
molecules of the opposite charge. The amount of molecules present will be
proportional to the amount of charge coming from the beads
