    1.

    Differential

    2.

    Selective

    3.

    Enrichment

    A. Media that contains agents that inhibit all but one specific organism.
    B. Contains certain factors that allow colonies of specific organisms to appear different than other colonies.
    C. Encourages the growth of specific types of organisms.

  • Question 142:

    Which of the following organizations now provides the certification exam for laboratory professionals?

    A. National Credentialing Agency (NCA)
    B. American Society for Clinical Laboratory Scientists (ASCLS)
    C. Board of Registry (BOR)
    D. National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences (NAACLS)

  • Question 143:

    When an antigen comes in contact with the skin, the antigen is processed by cells in the epidermis and come in contact with T lymphocytes. T lymphocytes recognize the antigen as foreign and circulate through the bloodstream back to the epidermis and produce an inflammatory response to eliminate the antigen, but this immune response can produce a characteristic rash in the skin called contact dermititis.

    Contact dermatitis is mediated by:

    A. B lymphocytes
    B. Macrophages
    C. Polymorphonuclear cells
    D. T lymphocytes
    E. Chemokines

  • Question 144:

    Interferon gamma serves various purposes in immunologic response, including the promotion of natural killer cell activity as well as decreased viral replication by using enzymes to decrease protein replication, both viral or host, inside of the cell.

    The lymphokine most important for increased natural killer cell activity and decreased viral replication in cells is:

    A. Interferon gamma
    B. Interleukin 3
    C. Interleukin 4
    D. Interleukin 5

  • Question 145:

    The steps in the PCR process are:

    1.

    Denaturation (Turning double stranded DNA into single strands.)

    2.

    Annealing/Hybrization (Attachment of primers to the single DNA strands.)

    3.

    Extension (Creating the complementary strand to produce new double stranded DNA.) What is the first step of the PCR reaction?

    A. Hybridization
    B. Extension
    C. Annealing
    D. Denaturation

  • Question 146:

    The red blood cell distribution width (RDW) increases as the severity of alpha thalassemia increases because of changing MCV as the bone marrow produces smaller cells. In addition, if Hemoglobin H bodies are present, they result in the formation of schiztocytes (RBC fragments) that can have an effect on the MCV and RDW.

    The Red cell Distribution Width (RDW) in alpha thalassemia is

    A. within normal limits
    B. usually increased
    C. usually decreased
    D. dependent upon severity

  • Question 147:

    PCT usually rises within 3-6 hours of infection. CRP also increases rapidly following infection, but is not as specific for infection as PCT. A rise in CRP could also occur with SIRS. Lactic acid is usually used to detect and monitor impaired circulation and tissue oxygenation in critically ill patients.

    Chemistry

    Of the three laboratory tests that are listed, which has proven to be most effective for early differentiation of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) from sepsis due to its increase following infection and higher specificity?

    A. C-reactive protein (CRP)
    B. Procalcitonin (PCT)
    C. Lactic acid

  • Question 148:

    The coagulation department tests samples for:

    A. prothrombin times
    B. bacterial growth
    C. electrolytes
    D. complete blood counts

  • Question 149:

    India ink can aid in the visualization of the polysacchride capsules of yeast such as Cryptococcus neoformans.

    Micro

    India Ink is used to:

    A. Visualize flagella
    B. Visualize shape
    C. Visualize capsule
    D. Visualize cytoplasm

  • Question 150:

    In the laboratory, surfaces must be disinfected for blood spills. What is the most common disinfectant used?

    A. A dilution of 5.2% sodium hypochlorite solutionCorrect
    B. 2% saline
    C. 25% ethanol
