(NHA) Medical Assisting Certification Study
Guide / (Specifically for students from the MA program in Job Corps.
This is a study guide for the NHA Certification as a Clinical Medical
Assistant. Guide covers phlebotomy, EKGs, anatomy and physiology, clinical
skills, federal laws and programs (e.g. HIPPA), and treatment of patients.)

P Wave Arterial Depolarization
How many 1mm boxes are in 30 one millimeter boxes
a 6 second rhythm strip?
The SA node represents Only the P wave
which waveform on the
EKG?
What is the reading you can Ventricular Pulse
get from the RR interval?
What is the primary stage of Vascular phase and platelet phase together
Hemolysis?
What is Electrophoresis? Analyzation of the chemical components of blood, e.g.
hemoglobin, serum, urine, cerebrospinal fluid based on
electrical charge.
Positive testing for occult Turns blue on a positive test for occult blood in feces
blood in a stool sample turns
which color?
1. Vascular, 2. Platelet Phase, 3. Coagulation Phase,
The stages of Hemostasis
4. Fibronolysis
,Blood vessels Aorta, Arteries, Arterioles, Capillaries, Venues, Veins,
Superior and Inferior Vena Cavae
Outer connective tissue layer Tunica Adventitia
of a blood vessel
Inner endothelial tissue of a Tunica Intima
blood vessel
The inner smooth layer of a Tunica tunica media
blood vessel
The standards of right and Code of Ethics
wrong in a medical setting
What do you find in A mixture of venous and arterial blood is found
capillaries?
The average adult has how 5-6 Liters
many liters of blood?
What is the percentage of 92%
water in the blood?
Percentage of plasma in the 55%
blood?

elements in the blood?
99% of formed elements in RBC,s or Erythrocytes
the blood
Where do you find RBC,s
hemoglobin?
Where do all blood cells Bone marrow
originate?
How many RBC,s per 4.2-6.2 million
microliter of blood
What is the second most Lymphocyte with 20-40%

important role in viral
infection as well as in
immunity

causes it to constrict, slowing
the clod of blood.
