CCBMA KAPLAN CLINICAL PRACTICE EXAM
QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT ANSWERS NEW
MODIFIED TESTED AND APPROVED
Question - Which of the following reagent strip panels would
show an abnormal finding if a person is suffering from a
bacterial infection?
1. + glucose
2. + nitrites
3. + ketones
4. + bilirubin
5. + protein - answer 2. bacteria convert or reduce nitrates
to nitrites. So, a + nitrites on a urinalysis strip may indicate a
bacterial urinary tract infection. Usually E. coli.
Wound care, S&S of infection are - 1. redness and swelling
2. drainage from the wound
3, increase in pain
4. fever
,5. heat and tenderness at the wound site
Question - If a Pt is suspected of having a fracture of an
extremity, what would be an appropriate action?
1. move the extremity to check for range of motion
2. have an x-ray taken
3. splint the extremity from the injury to the joint above it
4. hold pressure to the area to prevent bleeding into the tissue
5. apply heat to the area to increase circulation - answer 3 .
splint to prevent movement and further injury
Question What blood type is the universal recipient? - AB
Venipuncture, 60 seconds - maximum amount of time that a
tourniquet should remain
on the patient's arm during a routine venipuncture
,consideraitions during a large scale national disaster - 1. some
Pts will come to office b/c of overcrowded ER
2. vaccinations or immunizations may need to be
administered
3. open lines of communication with local public health
officials and participation in a coordinated plan

concentrate light from the illumination source. The light is in
turn focused through the object and magnified by the
objective lens.
, Venipuncture, order of draw p236 Kaplan - yellow, red,
red/gray (tiget top), blue, lavender, green, pink, gray. If blue is
the 1st & only tube drawn, draw a 5ml red topped tube 1st and
toss it b/c needle may pick up thromboplastin during stick.
This may affect test results.
