-p. 86-Ant antiarrhythmic drug that has a metabolite with
the same drug action
-Procainamide is metabolized to N-Acetylprocainamide
(NAPA)
- Must quantify both. Although they have the same drug
affect, difference in half- life may cause NAPA to
accumulate in the blood and produce toxic affects even at
therapeutic levels of procainamide.

urease - . . ANSWER ✔ ✔-Answer: Trichophyton
mentagrophytes -Trichophyton is the only Dermatophyte
with two colony types : macroconidia and microconidia. -
T. mentagrophytes characteristically produce "grapelike
clusters" of microconidia. - Positive in the hair perforation
test.

chorocarcinoma
-The are are 2 forms of hCG Alpha (common form) and
Beta (unique form)
5HIAA 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid - . . ANSWER ✔ ✔-
Answer: carcinoid tumors -5HIAA: primary metabolite of
serotonin, a chemical substance (neurotransmitter) that
transmits messages between nerve cells. -Large quantities
of serotonin and 5-HIAA may be produced by some
carcinoid tumors.- Carcinoid tumors are slow-growing
noncancerous or cancerous neuroendocrine masses that
can form in the GI tract, especially in the appendix, and in
the lungs.

catheter - . . ANSWER ✔ ✔heparin contamination
mixing study that was performed with a prolonged PTT
that couldn't be corrected - . . ANSWER ✔ ✔DRVVT
(Dilute Russell Viper Venom Test)
two pt's ran in duplicate (PT and PTT). The PTT seemed to
always be prolonged but PT looked ok - . . ANSWER ✔

white count was corrected - . . ANSWER ✔ ✔anti-lysing
, 4|Page
target cells are what increased the white count?
Erythrocytes containing hemoglobin C do not lyse
normally (sickle cell diseases)
A sodium citrate tube was drawn for a HCT on a pt but the
hematocrit was abnormal - . . ANSWER ✔ ✔recollect with
decreased anticoagulant. high hct (>55%) causes low
plasma so you need less anticoagulant
Question that gives a red blood cells count, HGB, and
HCT. I did the rule of 3 and found that the HGB didn't
meet the rule of 3 because it was too high - . . ANSWER ✔
✔check for lipemia (elevates HGB)
