c. A patient has passed a disease onto someone else
d. An event in which two patients die at the same time
e. The presence of two or more health conditions in the same patient
Answer: e) The presence of two or more health conditions in the same patient
3) BASIC BIOLOGY, ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY
Which vein is located on the thumb side of the arm?
a. Anterior tibial
b. Cephalic
c. External iliac
d. Femoral
e. Posterior tibial
Answer: b) Cephalic
The other veins are all veins of the leg.
4) LABORATORY MATHEMATICS AND QUALITY ASSURANCE
A 1/6 dilution of serum in water is made. The glucose result is 4.0 mmol/L. What result should the lab assistant report to the doctor?
a. 0.66 mmol/L
b. 4.0 mmol/L
c. 24.0 mmol/L
d. 40.0 mmol/L
e. 60.0 mmol/L
Answer: c) 24.0 mmol/L
The serum has been diluted by a factor of 6. Therefore you need to multiply the glucose result by 6 to get the true result: 4 × 6 = 24.
5) SPECIMEN PROCUREMENT, PROCESSING AND DATA COLLECTION
What might happen if an angle of 8 degrees is used when performing venipuncture?
a. A deep hematoma may form
b. Nothing will happen as this is the correct angle
c. The needle may enter above the vein
d. The needle may go completely through the vein
e. The needle may go through the posterior wall of the vein
Answer: c) The needle may enter above the vein
The ideal angle for insertion for venipuncture is 15 degrees.
An angle less than 15 degrees may cause the needle to enter above the vein, preventing a puncture.
6) LABORATORY SAFETY

a. Butyl
b. Neoprene
c. Nitrile
d. PVC
e. Rubber
Answer: a) Butyl
Gloves made of butyl rubber have the highest resistance to permeation by gases. Butyl rubber is a synthetic rubber that has excellent chemical resistance, including resistance to permeation by gases.
