questions and answers 2024\2025
Grade A+
Quality control
- correct answer A process that monitors the accuracy and reproducibility of results through the use of
control specimens.
Shift
- correct answer What demonstrates an abrupt change from the established average value of the
control for 3 days in a row?
Proficiency testing
- correct answer A means by which quality control between laboratories is maintained.
Provider-performed microscopy (PPM)
- correct answer What are specific microscopic tests (wet mounts, potassium hydroxide (KOH)
preparations, fern test) performed by a physician for his or her own patients?
Category A
- correct answer What category of bioterrorism agents has the following characteristics?
,Pathogens that are rarely seen in the United States, these agents have the highest priority; organisms in
this category pose a risk to national security because they can be easily disseminated or transmitted
from person to person, result in high mortality rates and have the potential for major public health
impact.
Category B
- correct answer What category of bioterrorism agents has the following characteristics?
These agents have the second highest priority and include pathogens that are moderately easy to
disseminate, results in moderate morbidity rates and low mortality rates, and require specific
enhancements of the CDC's diagnostic capacity and enhanced disease surveillance.
Category A.
- correct answer Agents anthrax, botulism, plague, smallpox, tularemia, filoviruses, and arenaviruses are
classified as
Electric equipment.
- correct answer Class C fire extinguishers are used for
Infectious waste
- correct answer OSHA has defined __________ as blood and blood products, contaminated sharps,
pathology waste products, and microbiological waste.
2013
- correct answer All employees who work with hazardous chemicals will be required to be trained about
the new labels and the elements of the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) by December 1 of ___________.
Safety Data Sheets
- correct answer Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) are now called:
Pictograms
- correct answer The GHS brings with it a new chemical labeling standard using ____________.
Spectrophotometry.
- correct answer The chemistry methodology that is based on the fact that substances of clinical interest
selectively absorb or emit electromagnetic energy at different wavelengths is
, Material safety data sheet (MSDS).
- correct answer Reference materials about the individual chemical are provided by all chemical
manufacturers and suppliers by means of
20 mL
- correct answer How many milliliters (mL) of 0.25M NaOH are needed to make 100 mL of a 0.05 M
solution of NaOH?
9/5 (Celsius degrees number+ 32)
- correct answer convert Celsius to Fahrenheit?
Flourescent.
- correct answer The microscope commonly used in cellular biology that has the ability to distinguish
between living and dead cells and monitor activity within living cells is the
40X objective.
- correct answer The objective that should never have oil used on it is the
450
- correct answer If a 10 X eyepiece is used with a 45 X objective, the total magnification is
Blood culture (aerobic), blood culture (anaerobic), blue, red, green stopper, lavender, and gray
- correct answer What is the order of draw of multiple evacuated tubes?
Peripheral (or capillary) blood and venous blood
- correct answer What are the two general sources of blood for clinical laboratory tests?
Blood gases, slides/smear, EDTA tubes, other additive minicontainers, and serum containers
- correct answer Order of draw for capillary specimens:
a hematoma.
- correct answer Failure to apply sufficient pressure to the venipuncture site could result in
