AMT MLT Practice Test Study Guide
A process that monitors the accuracy Quality control
and reproducibility of results through
the use of control specimens.
What demonstrates an abrupt change Shift
from the established average value of
the control for 3 days in a row?
A means by which quality control Proficiency testing
between laboratories is maintained.
What are specific microscopic tests Provider-performed microscopy (PPM)
(wet mounts, potassium hydroxide
(KOH) preparations, fern test)
performed by a physician for his or her
own patients?
What category of bioterrorism agents Category A
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.
What category of bioterrorism agents Category B
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.
Agents anthrax, botulism, plague, Category A.
smallpox, tularemia, filoviruses, and
arenaviruses are classified as
Class C fire extinguishers are used for Electric equipment.
