lumbar puncture - correct answer ✔✔involves the insertion of a hollow needle and stylet into
the subarachnoid space, generally between the third and fourth lumbar vertebrae below the
level of the spinal cord under strict aseptic technique
stool analysis for occult blood - correct answer ✔✔analysis of a stool sample to determine the
presence of blood not visible to the naked eye
,stool guaiac - correct answer ✔✔a test on a stool specimen using guaiac as a reagent, which
identifies the presence of blood in the stool
complete blood cell count (CBC) - correct answer ✔✔a series of tests performed on peripheral
blood, which inexpensively screens for problems in the hematologic system as well as in several
other organ systems
RBC count - correct answer ✔✔measures number of RBC's per cubin millimeter of blood
hemoglobin - correct answer ✔✔a complex protein-iron compound in the blood that carries
oxygen to the cells from the lungs and carbon dioxide away from the cells to the lungs
hematocrit - correct answer ✔✔an assessment of RBC percentage in the total blood volume
RBC indices - correct answer ✔✔measures erythrocyte size and hemoglobin content
WBC count - correct answer ✔✔measures the number of white blood cells in a cubic millimeter
of blood
WBC differential - correct answer ✔✔determines the proportion of each of the five types of
white blood cells in a sample of 100 WBCs
blood smear - correct answer ✔✔an examination of the peripheral blood to determine
variations and abnormalities in RBCs, WBCs, and platelets
platelet count - correct answer ✔✔measures the number of platelets in a cubic millimeter of
blood
,white blood cell (WBC) count - correct answer ✔✔the measurement of the cirulating number of
WBCs in 1 cubic millimeter of peripheral blood
leukocytosis - correct answer ✔✔elevated WBC count typically indicates inflammation,
infection, leukemic neoplasia, or tissue necrosis. Physical or emotional stress or trauma may
increase the total WBC count
leukopenia - correct answer ✔✔reduction in the WBC count results from bone marrow failure,
which may occur following chemotherapy or radiation therapy, with an overwhelming follow
chemotherapy or radiation therapy, with an overwhelming infection,, autoimmune disease,
drug toxicity, or dietary deficiencies.
cystoscopy - correct answer ✔✔process of viewing the interior of the bladder, using a
cystoscope
bladder, sac, or cyst - correct answer ✔✔cyst/o

proctoscope - correct answer ✔✔an instrument used to view the rectum that has a cutting and
cauterizing (burning) loop. Aka rectoscope

action of the heart as reflected from various angles to the surface of the skin; known as an EKG
or ECG

ECG or EKG - correct answer ✔✔electrocardiogram
UA - correct answer ✔✔urinalysis
urinalysis - correct answer ✔✔Physical, chemical, or microscopic examination of urine
urine - correct answer ✔✔urin/o
breakdown or destruction - correct answer ✔✔-lysis
physical examination of urine - correct answer ✔✔includes examining the specimen for color,
turbidity (cloudiness), specific gravity, and pH
chemical analysis of urine - correct answer ✔✔may involve checking the specimen for presence
of sugar, ketones, protein, or blood
microscopic examination of urine - correct answer ✔✔involves examining the urine specimen
for the presence of blood cells, casts, crystals, pus, and bacteria. Is is performed after the urine
specimen has been spun in a centrifuge to allow for collection of a small amount of sediment
urine culture - correct answer ✔✔a procedure used to cultivate the growth of bacteria present
in a urine specimen for proper microscopic identification of the specific pathogen (disease
producing microorganism)
