AAB MT CHEMISTRY EXAM
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 2026
How is valproic acid (Depakote) administered? - ANSWERSOral preparation because
the gastrointestinal tract completely and rapidly absorbs valproic acid, so other delivery
methods are not as useful for therapy.
Before starting the blood collection process, the patient must be informed that the
specimen collected will be tested for blood alcohol.
Labeling the blood tubes and sealing them in front of the patient is done after collection
is complete.
In heme synthesis, how many molecules of delta-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) are needed
to form one molecule of heme? - ANSWERS8
M and B (incorrect answer) are polypeptide chains that are part of the creatine kinase
enzyme and make up the major isoenzymes including MM, MB, and BB.
You are collecting a blood specimen to be used for forensic (legal) alcohol testing.
Which of the following must be done before you start the specimen collection process? -
ANSWERSMust inform the patient that the blood about to be collected is for alcohol
testing.
Which of the following blood tests is used to evaluate kidney function? –
ANSWERSCreatinine
What are the two polypeptide chains that comprise the LD molecule? - ANSWERSM
and H (correct answer). These polypeptide chains combine to create 5 arrangements of
the major isoenzymes of LD (HHHH, HHHM, HHMM, HMMM, and MMMM).
