This complete test bank for Urinalysis and Body Fluids, 7th Edition by Susan King Strasinger and Marjorie Schaub Di Lorenzo provides verified exam-style questions and answers for all 17 chapters . Published by F.A. Davis (ISBN: 9780803641044), this A+ graded resource (318–537 pages) is designed for Medical Laboratory Technician (MLT), Clinical Laboratory Science (CLS), and Medical Technology students preparing for ASCP BOC certification, course exams, and clinical practice . The test bank includes multiple-choice questions, true/false items, and clinical case studies with verified correct answers, detailed rationales, difficulty levels, and textbook learning objectives . Questions are organized chapter-by-chapter and cover the full spectrum of urinalysis and body fluid analysis—from laboratory safety, quality management, and automation to renal function, urine examination, and specialized body fluid analysis . Key topics covered include: Chapter 1: Safety and Quality Management — Chemical hazards (carcinogen exposure), biological hazards (chain of infection with source, host, transmission method), Standard Precautions (all moist body substances considered potentially infectious), OSHA Blood-Borne Pathogen Standard (law enforced by OSHA), latex allergies, proper hand washing, specimen handling, fire safety (RACE acronym, Type ABC extinguishers), quality management (preexamination, examination, postexamination phases), precision vs. accuracy, Levy-Jennings charts, coefficient of variation, and proficiency testing . Chapters 2–17: Urine and Body Fluid Analysis Automation, Introduction to Urinalysis, Renal Function (glomerular filtration, tubular reabsorption, urine concentration), Physical Examination of Urine (color, clarity), Chemical Examination of Urine (reagent strip testing for pH, protein, glucose, ketones), Microscopic Examination of Urine (cast identification, crystals, cells, microorganisms), Renal Disease (glomerulonephritis, pyelonephritis, nephrotic syndrome), Urine Screening for Metabolic Disorders, Cerebrospinal Fluid (collection, handling, clinical significance in meningitis, subarachnoid hemorrhage), Semen (fertility testing), Synovial Fluid (crystal analysis: gout vs. pseudogout), Serous Fluid, Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid, Amniotic Fluid, Fecal Analysis, and Vaginal Secretion (fetal fibronectin for preterm delivery risk, placental alpha-1 microglobulin for fetal membrane rupture) . Sample Questions (from Chapter 1): 1. An example of a chemical hazard is: A. Carcinogen exposure B. Strained back C. Viral infection D. Shock Answer: A — Carcinogen exposure is a chemical hazard. Strained back is a physical hazard, viral infection is a biological hazard, and shock is an electrical hazard . 2. Centrifuging an uncapped tube of urine is most likely to produce a/an: A. Electrical shock B. Broken tube C. Unbalancing D. Aerosol Answer: D — Centrifuging uncapped tubes generates aerosols, which pose an infection risk to laboratory personnel . 3. You arrive to work with a small cut on your hand. Your supervisor removes you from phlebotomy duties citing chain of infection protocols. Why? A. You will not have mobility to properly collect blood. B. You are going to have to wear a bandage all day long. C. You have a point of entry that could expose you to infectious agents. D. You are going to be an active transmitter of infection onto general surfaces. Answer: C — The cut on the hand represents a portal of entry (the route through which infectious agents enter the body), increasing the risk of infection for the worker . 4. The chain of infection includes all of the following except a: A. Source B. Host C. Disinfectant D. Transmission method Answer: C — The chain of infection components are source, method of transmission, and host. Disinfectant is not part of the chain; it is used to break the chain . This resource is ideal for MLT, CLS, Medical Technology students, healthcare educators, and professionals preparing for urinalysis exams, ASCP BOC certification, and clinical practice . Available in digital PDF format with A+ graded content, updated for the 2025/2026 academic year.
