<99 mg/dL - CORRECT ANSWER: normal fasting blood glucose
>126 mg/dL - CORRECT ANSWER: diabetes fasting blood glucose
>190 mg/dL - CORRECT ANSWER: very high LDL
>240 mg/dL - CORRECT ANSWER: high total cholesterol
,>30 mg/dL - CORRECT ANSWER: high VLDL
>500 mg/dL - CORRECT ANSWER: very high triglycerides
>6.5% - CORRECT ANSWER: diabetes HgbA1c
>60 mg/dL - CORRECT ANSWER: high HDL
-high is better than low

6.5-8.3 g/dL - CORRECT ANSWER: total serum protein reference range
-plasma would contain about 5% more protein because it would still contain clotting
proteins

7.40 rule - CORRECT ANSWER: in a compensated patient you can tell if they were in
acidosis or alkalosis depending on which side of 7.40 their blood pH is on
-below 7.40= previously acidotic
-above 7.40= previously alkalotic
80-110 mmol/L - CORRECT ANSWER: pO2 reference range
absorbed light - CORRECT ANSWER: light that enters but does not leave a solution
accuracy - CORRECT ANSWER: how close the measured results are to a "true"/
