questions with correct answers
A |unit |of |blood |is |only |good |at |room |temperature |for? |- |ANSWERS✔✔ |½ |of |an |hour. |After |
that |is |needs |to |be |thrown |away.
An |average |"unit" |of |a |blood |product |costs? |- |ANSWERS✔✔ |$350
A |CLA |will |have |the |responsibility |of? |- |ANSWERS✔✔ |1. |Monitoring |the |temperature |of |the |
refrigerator |that |stores |the |blood |product. |
2. |do |inventory |after |each |shift |(depending |on |the |size |of |the |facility) |to |determine |how |many |
units |of |O- |and |O+ |are |available |for |distribution |in |case |of |a |major |disaster.
O- |can |be |given |to? |- |ANSWERS✔✔ |any |patient; |male |or |female |universal |donor
O+ |are |only |given |to? |- |ANSWERS✔✔ |male |patients |or |female |patients |that |are |outside |of |
child |bearing |age. |The |O+ |blood |products |may |interfere |with |reproduction |and |can |cause |the |
fetus |to |have |birth |defects |and |build |up |antibodies |to |the |mother's |blood |type.
Some |blood |products |may |come |to |this |department |frozen |- |ANSWERS✔✔ |and |will |need |to |
be |thawed |in |a |warm |water |bath |before |being |distributed.
Blood |Banks |often |perform |- |ANSWERS✔✔ |Blood |typing- |for |pregnant |women |and |babies. |
Rh |incompatibility |cause |baby |red |blood |cells |to |clump |together
Were |the |majority |of |the |tests |on |a |order |form |are |tested? |- |ANSWERS✔✔ |The |chemistry |
department
, Who |is |given |priority |when |testing |specimens? |- |ANSWERS✔✔ |Inpatient |specimens |are |
given |a |higher |priority |then |outpatients. |Typically |if |a |person |is |admitted |into |a |hospital |they |
are |determined |to |be |quite |ill.
Once |a |specimen |is |processed |and |distributed |to |the |chemistry |department. |- |ANSWERS✔✔ |
The |MLT |or |MT |will |batch |their |specimens |by |their |priority: |STAT, |ASAP, |ROUTINE, |
OUTPATIENT, |and |INPATIENT.
STAT |- |ANSWERS✔✔ |NOW
ASAP |- |ANSWERS✔✔ |Within |4 |Hours
ROUTINE |- |ANSWERS✔✔ |Within |6 |Hours
Chemistry |Analyzer |- |ANSWERS✔✔ |Machines |mix |a |reagent |with |a |specimen |to |produce |
test |results. |Once |a |specimen |has |been |tested |the |results |are |uploaded |from |this |machine |to |
MLT's |or |MT's |computer. |If |the |result |fits |into |a |specified |normal |range |it |is |released. |If |the |
result |is |outside |of |the |normal |range |it |will |need |to |be |tested |again |and |verified |by |the |MLT |or |
MT |before |it |is |released |and |viewed |by |the |doctor.
What |is |special |about |handling |the |test |on |an |Ionized |Calcium? |- |ANSWERS✔✔ |This |
machine |runs |a |specific |test |that |is |called |"Ionized |Calcium". |This |test |requires |special |
handling. |If |the |specimen |comes |into |contact |with |air |it |is |rejected. |The |specimen |has |to |be |
collected |and |processed |in |an |un-opened |clot |tube |or |transferred |into |a |small |air-tight, |sealed |
syringe.
