BRAND NEW ACTUAL EXAM WITH
ANSWERS.
1. What is the MCV if the hematocrit is 20%, the RBC is 2.4 x
10^6/uL and the hemoglobin is 5 g/dL? - correct answer -83 pg
2. which of the following mediators are released during t-cell
activation - correct answer -cytokines
3. cerebrospinal fluid for glucose assay should be - correct
answer -analyzed immediately
4. The automated platelet count on an EDTA specimen is 58 x
103/pL. The platelet estimate on the blood smear appears
normal, but it was noted that the platelets were surrounding th
neutrophils. The next step should be to: - correct answer -
recollect specimen using different anticoagulant
, Page | 2
5. The biuret reaction for the analysis of serum protein depends
on the number of: - correct answer -peptide bonds
6. which of the following genera include anaerobic gram-negative
nonsporulating bacilli? - correct answer -bacteroides
7. An antibiotic used to suppress or kill contaminating fungi in
media is: - correct answer -cycloheximide
8. Higher levels of employees motivation occur when the
supervisor: - correct answer -collaborates to set goals to be
accomplished
9. Which stain is used to used to measure sperm viability> -
correct answer -eosin nigrosin

, Page | 3
11. A nonchromogen that grows best at 42 degree C and is
highly resistant to antibiotics is: - correct answer -Mycobaterium
xenopi
12. Microscope analysis of a urine specimen yields a moderate
amount of red blood cells in spite of a negative result for occult
blood using a reagent strip. The technologist should determine
if this patient has taken: - correct answer -vitamine C
13. Nephelometers measure light: - correct answer -a scattered
at a right angle to the light path
14. A first morning sputum is received for acid-fast culture. The
specimen is centrifuged and the sediment is inoculated on Two
Lowenstein-Jensen slants, which are incubated at 35C with 5-
10% CO2. After 1 week, the slants show abundant growth over
the entire surface. Strains reveal gram-negative bacilli. To
avoid this problem: - correct answer -decontaminate the
specimen with sodium hydroxide
