AMT/ ASCP Study Exam Questions with
complete solutions
Nucleus orientation - correct answer ✔✔What morphological feature can aid in the differentiation of
spherical forms of transitional epithelial cells and renal tubular epithelial cells?
Staphylococcus aureus - correct answer ✔✔A wound specimen was set up for culture with the source
listed as right thigh abscess. Examination of the growth on blood agar plates shows cream-colored,
smooth, slightly raised colonies with a transparent zone of BETA hemolysis surrounding them. Colonies
test catalase-POSITIVE and coagulase-POSITIVE, and Gram stain shows Gram-positive cocci in clusters.
What is the presumptive identification of this organism?
8 am and 8 pm - correct answer ✔✔Cortisol levels exhibit diurnal variation, so baseline levels for
evaluation of adrenal function should be collected at what times?
Plasma cell - correct answer ✔✔Which cell is responsible for the production of antibodies after antigenic
stimulation?
Filing a quality assurance incident report - correct answer ✔✔Issuing a corrected laboratory report for
an erroneously reported culture ID and susceptibility may require what corrective action?
Filing a quality assurance incident report - correct answer ✔✔Issuing a corrected laboratory report for
an erroneously reported culture ID and susceptibility may require what corrective action?
Vitamin D, 25-hydroxy - correct answer ✔✔Which form of vitamin D is tested to screen for deficiency?
