Quality control - Answer- A process that monitors the accuracy and reproducibility of
results through the use of control specimens.
Shift - Answer- What demonstrates an abrupt change from the established average
value of the control for 3 days in a row?
Proficiency testing - Answer- A means by which quality control between laboratories is
maintained.
Provider-performed microscopy (PPM) - Answer- What are specific microscopic tests
(wet mounts, potassium hydroxide (KOH) preparations, fern test) performed by a
physician for his or her own patients?
Category A - Answer- What category of bioterrorism agents has the following
characteristics?
Pathogens that are rarely seen in the United States, these agents have the highest
priority; organisms in this category pose a risk to national security because they can be
easily disseminated or transmitted from person to person, result in high mortality rates
and have the potential for major public health impact.
Category B - Answer- What category of bioterrorism agents has the following
characteristics?
These agents have the second highest priority and include pathogens that are
moderately easy to disseminate, results in moderate morbidity rates and low mortality
rates, and require specific enhancements of the CDC's diagnostic capacity and
enhanced disease surveillance.
Category A. - Answer- Agents anthrax, botulism, plague, smallpox, tularemia,
filoviruses, and arenaviruses are classified as
Electric equipment. - Answer- Class C fire extinguishers are used for
Infectious waste - Answer- OSHA has defined __________ as blood and blood
products, contaminated sharps, pathology waste products, and microbiological waste.
2013 - Answer- All employees who work with hazardous chemicals will be required to
be trained about the new labels and the elements of the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) by
December 1 of ___________.
Safety Data Sheets - Answer- Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) are now called:
, Pictograms - Answer- The GHS brings with it a new chemical labeling standard using
____________.
Spectrophotometry. - Answer- The chemistry methodology that is based on the fact that
substances of clinical interest selectively absorb or emit electromagnetic energy at
different wavelengths is
Material safety data sheet (MSDS). - Answer- Reference materials about the individual
chemical are provided by all chemical manufacturers and suppliers by means of
20 mL - Answer- How many milliliters (mL) of 0.25M NaOH are needed to make 100 mL
of a 0.05 M solution of NaOH?
9/5 (Celsius degrees number+ 32) - Answer- convert Celsius to Fahrenheit?
Flourescent. - Answer- The microscope commonly used in cellular biology that has the
ability to distinguish between living and dead cells and monitor activity within living cells
is the
40X objective. - Answer- The objective that should never have oil used on it is the
450 - Answer- If a 10 X eyepiece is used with a 45 X objective, the total magnification is
Blood culture (aerobic), blood culture (anaerobic), blue, red, green stopper, lavender,
and gray - Answer- What is the order of draw of multiple evacuated tubes?
Peripheral (or capillary) blood and venous blood - Answer- What are the two general
sources of blood for clinical laboratory tests?
Blood gases, slides/smear, EDTA tubes, other additive minicontainers, and serum
containers - Answer- Order of draw for capillary specimens:
a hematoma. - Answer- Failure to apply sufficient pressure to the venipuncture site
could result in
. Hemolyzed specimens - Answer- What would cause the constituents, including
enzymes acid phosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and aspartate
aminotransferase (AST) to significantly elevate the value obtained for these substances
in serum?
Two thirds - Answer- The role of the phlebotomist has never been more important to the
patient and the laboratory. How many errors are caused by preanalytical errors?
RNA. - Answer- A western blot is used to detect
