2 CSF specimens have been despatched to the lab with the following consequences:
Tube 1 = eleven,two hundred rbc/uL
Tube 2 = three hundred rbc/uL
The consequences on these CSF specimens are indicative of:
A: An infection
B: A recent subarachnoid hemorrhage
C: Traumatic tap
D: An antique intracranial bleeding episode
**This is a Level 1 Question** - ANS-C
2 techs accomplished E.Coli O157:H7 serotyping on a suspected colony. The serotyping makes
use of the O157 somatic antigen because the target for agglutination. 1st tech accomplished
QC & patient samples by way of using a suspension of the colony & latex reagent. The results
said by the tech have been positive. Second tech also did the serotyping the usage of QC &
affected person samples by means of using a suspension of the colony, latex reagent, & isolate
suspension with the poor control. 2nd tech's results have been negative. QC surpassed in all
trying out. Why did the techs acquire extraordinary outcomes for the serotyping?
A: 2d tech tested the suspension with bad manage
B: 1st tech did no longer make a huge enough suspension of the organism
C: 1st tech must have heated the organism before serotyping
D: 2d tech must have refrigerated the organism earlier than serotyping
**This is a Level 5 Question** - ANS-A
A sixty seven-yr-antique guy was seen inside the ER complaining of a cough, fever, & piercing
proper posterior chest pain. X-ray of the chest found out consolidation of the proper center lobe
of the lung. Sputum lifestyle grew the bacterial species shown to the right. The decrease
photomicrograph illustrates a gram-stain o the sputum specimen. The maximum probable cause
of the pneumonia is:
A: Klebsiella pneumoniae
B: Enterococcus faecalis
C: Staphylococcus intermedius
D: Streptococcus pneumoniae
,**This is a Level four Question** - ANS-D
A most cancers affected person become admitted to the hospital with fever, tachycardia, & a
drop on blood stress. Due to the patient being handled for most cancers, her chemotherapy
were administrated thru an intravenous catheter. To rule out a catheter-related infection, the
doctor ordered 2 sets of blood cultures with 1 set amassed from the catheter website & the
second set being amassed by venipuncture. After 48hrs, the affected person had high quality
blood cultures that grew Staphylococcus epidermidis. How will the physician understand if the
Staphylococcus epidermidis gift is sue to an infected catheter or is contaminant?
A: Both blood cultures have to don't have any increase
B: The blood lifestyle amassed via venipuncture might be advantageous at the same time as the
catheter could be poor
C: The blood culture gathered through venipuncture have to always be poor
D: Both blood cultures might be nice
**This is a Level 5 Question** - ANS-D
A false-bad response whilst acting the DAT approach can be the end result of:
A: Red cell/AHG tube is over centrifuged
B: Blood accumulated in tube containing silicone gel
C: Saline used for wash saved in glass or steel field
D: AHG addition not on time for 40+ min
**This is a Level 4 Question** - ANS-D
A maternal pattern is collected 2hrs after transport & a T&S is weakly superb & an anti-D is ID.
Which of the following is the maximum possibly purpose of the advantageous antibody display?
A: Passive anti-D from RhIG given at 28 weeks
B: Anti-D fashioned for the duration of delivery
C: Anti-D in neonate
D: False advantageous result
**This is a Level five Question** - ANS-A
A ordinary HGB molecule is created from the following:
A: ferrous iron & 4 globin chains
B: four heme & 4 globin chains
C: four heme & 1 globin chain
D: 1 heme & 4 globin chains
, **This is a Level 4 Question** - ANS-B
A affected person had a differential diagnoses of SLE.
Lab consequences:
ANA = Positive (homogeneous pattern), titer: 1:320
RA = Positive
Complement = reduced
All of the subsequent precise lab tests meet the standards for a definitive analysis of SLE,
EXCEPT?
A: A wonderful ANA
B: Sm antibodies
C: dsDNA antibodies
D: RNP antibodies
**This is a Level 6 Question** - ANS-D
A patient is admitted to the ED with lethargy & pallor. The CBC effects are as follows:
RBC = four.1x10^12/L
HGB = 7.9 g/dL
HCT = 29%
How could you classify this anemia?
A: Microcytic, hypochromic
B: Normocytic, normochromic
C: Macrocytic, normochromic
D: Microcytic, hyperchromic
**This is a Level 2 Question** - ANS-MCV = (HCT/RBC)
MCV = (29/four.1)
MCV = (71) (L)
MCHC = (HGB/HCT * a hundred)
MCHC = (7.Nine/29 * one hundred)
MCHC = 27% (L)

A affected person who demonstrates a history of an allergic reaction from purple cell
transfusions will benefit from receiving which crimson mobile element?
A: FRBCs
B: Washed RBCs
