amorphous phosphates precipitated - CORRECT ANSWERSA freshly voided urine was yellow and clear. It
was placed in the refrigerator until it could be brought to the lab. When it arrived in the lab, it had a
white precipitate. Which of the following is the most likely explanation for this urine's appearance upon
arrival in the lab?
crenated. - CORRECT ANSWERSWhen the patient's urine is hypertonic, the RBC's appear
physical, chemical and microscopic qualities of urine - CORRECT ANSWERSA complete urinalysis usually
includes the examination of
a first and second morning specimen. - CORRECT ANSWERSThe urine collection used to evaluate
orthostatic proteinuria is
Maltese Cross - CORRECT ANSWERSThis characteristic is formed in the oval fat droplets that contain
cholesterol it is?
Quality control - CORRECT ANSWERSA process that monitors the accuracy and reproducibility of results
through the use of control specimens.
Shift - CORRECT ANSWERSWhat demonstrates an abrupt change from the established average value of
the control for 3 days in a row?
Proficiency testing - CORRECT ANSWERSA means by which quality control between laboratories is
maintained.
Provider-performed microscopy (PPM) - CORRECT ANSWERSWhat 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 ANSWERSWhat 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 ANSWERSWhat 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 ANSWERSAgents anthrax, botulism, plague, smallpox, tularemia, filoviruses, and
arenaviruses are classified as
Electric equipment. - CORRECT ANSWERSClass C fire extinguishers are used for

2013 - CORRECT ANSWERSAll 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 ANSWERSMaterial Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) are now called:
Pictograms - CORRECT ANSWERSThe GHS brings with it a new chemical labeling standard using
____________.
Spectrophotometry. - CORRECT ANSWERSThe chemistry methodology that is based on the fact that
substances of clinical interest selectively absorb or emit electromagnetic energy at different
wavelengths is
