MULTIPLE CHOICE

1. The ASCLS professional Code of Ethics states that all laboratory professionals have a
responsibility for proper conduct toward:
a. the patient.
b. colleagues and the profession.
c. society.
d. all of the above.

ANS: D
The Code of Ethics sets forth the principles and standards by which clinical laboratory
professionals practice their profession. It includes duty to the patient, duty to colleagues and
the profession, and duty to society.

3. Which certifying agency or agencies have been granted deemed status to act on behalf of the
federal government in matters of laboratory accreditation?
a. Commission on Office Laboratory Accreditation (COLA)

Commission (TJC), have been given deemed status to act on the federal government’s behalf.
From an external source, guidelines and standards have also been set to govern safe work
practices in the clinical laboratory.

4. The definition of a waived test is laboratory tests or procedures:
a. cleared by the FDA for home use.

b. that can be performed by a preferred provider.
c. that have a small reasonable risk of harm to the patient if performed incorrectly.
d. that are moderately complex.

ANS: A
As currently defined, waived laboratory tests or procedures are those cleared by the Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) for home use that employ methodologies so simple that the
likelihood of erroneous results is negligible and that pose no reasonable risk of harm to the
patient if performed incorrectly. To meet the criteria for being in the provider-performed
microscopy (PPM) category, procedures must be personally performed by the practitioner
(defined as a physician, a midlevel practitioner under the supervision of a physician, or a
dentist). Tests that have moderate- and high-complexity levels are more regulated, with some
minimal personnel standards required, as well as proficiency testing and quality assurance
programs.

PTS: 1 DIF: Cognitive Level: 1 REF: p. 5

5. CLIA personnel requirements specify:
a. requirements of persons working in each of the testing sites where tests of
moderate or high complexity are done.
b. educational requirements.
c. required training and experience.
d. all of the above.

ANS: D
The personnel section of the CLIA regulations defines the responsibilities of persons working
in each of the testing sites at which tests of moderate or high complexity are performed, along
with the educational requirTem ES

rience needed. Minimum education
and experience needed by testing personnel to perform the specific laboratory tests on human
specimens are also regulated by CLIA ’88. These job requirements are listed in the CLIA ’88
final regulations, along with their amendments published from 1992 to 1995. There are no
CLIA regulations for testing personnel who work at sites performing only the waived tests or
the PPM. For laboratories in which only tests of moderate complexity are performed, the
minimum requirement for testing personnel is a high school diploma or equivalent, as long as
there is documented evidence of an amount of training sufficient to ensure that the
laboratorian has the skills necessary to collect, identify, and process the specimen, and to
perform the laboratory analysis itself. For tests of the highly complex category, the personnel
requirements are more stringent. Anyone who is eligible to perform highly complex tests can
also perform moderate-complexity testing.

PTS: 1 DIF: Cognitive Level: 2 REF: pp. 4-5

6. The fastest growing segment of laboratory testing is:
a. dry reagent chemistry.
b. lab on a chip technology.
c. molecular diagnostics.
d. automation of blood cell counting.

ANS: C
