Serum ferritin is a good indicator of iron deficiency. However, it acts like an acute phase reactant, being elevated in a large number of conditions. Patients who have iron deficiency as well as another condition that elevates serum ferritin levels may therefore have normal or even elevated serum ferritin levels.
Which one of the following statements about serum ferritin are true:
A. It is a sensitive indicator of iron deficiencyLavender stopper tubes can be used for all of the following except:
A. hematocritsSerological diagnosis of active or recent infection generally requires the demonstration of IgM antibody, or the demonstration of a fourfold rise in the titer of specific IgG antibody. Which of the following would be considered most significant as it relates to serological testing:
A. Presence of an antibody titer is generally diagnosticMonoclonal antibodies are usually produced by:
A. Cultured T cellsA phlebotomist has just performed a venipuncture on a patient. How would the phlebotomist dispose of the used needle?
A. In the biohazard wastebasketThe correct set of patient data would be: Hgb A = 60%, Hgb S = 38%, Hgb A2 = 2%, Hgb F = 0%
Patients with sickle cell trait commonly have Hgb A values between 40 and 60%, Hgb S values between 20 and 40% and Hgb A2 values between 2 and 3%.
A known sickle cell trait patient has a hemoglobin electrophoresis test performed. Which of the following hemoglobin percentage sets would most closely match this patient's diagnostic state?
A. Hgb A = 90%, Hgb S = 8%, Hgb A2 = 2%, Hgb F = 0%According to OSHA, Hazard Communication 1910.1200 has the purpose of ensuring that the hazards of all chemicals produced or imported are evaluated, and that information concerning their hazards is transmitted to employers and employees.
Also known as the "Right To Know Law," which one of the following OSHA regulations first dealt with specific information related to the contents of chemicals used in the workplace?
A. Blood Borne Pathogens 1910.1030In primary responses, the major class of antibody produced is IgM whereas in the secondary response, as mentioned in this question, it is IgG. IgG is present in the highest quantities compared to all other antibody classes and is the only antibody able to cross the placental barrier.
Which of the following antibody types is chiefly seen in the secondary immune response:
A. IgGThe body compensates for alkalosis or acidosis of the blood PRIMARILY to regain a normal pH, between 7.35 - 7.45. When the body compensates for a respiratory or metabolic disorder, the MAIN goal is to achieve:
A. correct carbonic acid level, since it is the most important system in the bodyThe thrombin time (TT) involves the addition thrombin to platelet poor plasma to stimulate the clotting process. It reflects ability of the patient to convert fibrinogen to fibrin but is also sensitive to the presence of inhibitors that may be present in the plasma, like heparin. Therefore, it can be used to measure the effects of heparin on a coagulation sample.
This assay would be used to help rule-out heparin contamination in a coagulation sample:
