maintained. - ANSWER- Proficiency testing
,What are specific microscopic tests (wet mounts, potassium
hydroxide (KOH) preparations, fern test) performed by a physician
for his or her own patients? - ANSWER- Provider-performed

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. - ANSWER-
Category A
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. - ANSWER- Category B
Agents anthrax, botulism, plague, smallpox, tularemia, filoviruses,
and arenaviruses are classified as - ANSWER- Category A.

tests? - ANSWER- Peripheral (or capillary) blood and venous
blood
Order of draw for capillary specimens: - ANSWER- Blood gases,
slides/smear, EDTA tubes, other additive minicontainers, and
serum containers
