Questions and Answers Latest 2026
Quality control Ans: A process that monitors the
accuracy and reproducibility of results through the use of
control specimens.
Shift Ans: What demonstrates an abrupt change from the
established average value of the control for 3 days in a
row?
Proficiency testing Ans: A means by which quality control
between laboratories is maintained.
Provider-performed microscopy (PPM) Ans: 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 Ans: 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 Ans: 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.

cellular biology that has the ability to distinguish
between living and dead cells and monitor activity within
living cells is the
40X objective. Ans: The objective that should never have
oil used on it is the
450 Ans: 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 Ans: What is the
order of draw of multiple evacuated tubes?
Peripheral (or capillary) blood and venous blood Ans:
What are the two general sources of blood for clinical
laboratory tests?
