b. Bleeding
c. Cyanosis
d. Edema
Answer: b) Bleeding

3) ANALYTICAL PROCESSES
How many millilitres of 5% hydrochloric acid are needed to make 500 mL of 2% hydrochloric acid?
a. 100
b. 200
c. 300
d. 400
Answer: b) 200
The formula for calculating a dilution is c1 × v1 = c2 × v2, where:
c1 is the initial concentration
v1 is the initial volume
c2 is the final concentration
v2 is the final volume
In this case:
c1 = 5%
c2 = 2%
v2 = 500 mL
Therefore:
c1 × v1 = c2 × v2
5 × v1 = 2 × 500
5 × v1 = 1,000
v1 = 1,000/5
v1 = 200
4) INTERPRETATION AND REPORTING OF RESULTS
A woman has a leukocyte count of 3.6 × 10^9/L. What is the term for this type of cell count?

The normal leukocyte count for women is between 5.0 and 11.0 × 10^9/L of blood. This woman's leukocyte count is below the normal range so she has leukopenia (a low leukocyte count).
