Sample questions To give you an idea of what to expect, here are six sample questions from the book: 1) BASIC KNOWLEDGE
Which glassware is used to measure 24-hour urine volumes?
a. Beaker
b. Erlenmeyer flask
c. Graduated cylinder
d. Graduated pipette
Answer: c) Graduated cylinder
Graduated cylinders are used to measure 24-hour urine volumes because they are designed to make accurate measurements of large volumes of liquids. They typically come in three sizes (500 mL, 1000 mL, and 2000 mL) and can measure in 5 mL, 10 mL or 20 mL increments. 2) CHEMISTRY
Which of these increases in a urine specimen left at room temperature?
a. Bilirubin
b. Ketones
c. Leukocytes
d. Nitrites
Answer: d) Nitrites
Nitrites will increase in urine left at room temperature due to bacterial production. 3) MICROBIOLOGY
After Gram staining, what colour are gram-negative organisms?
a. Green
b. Light blue
c. Purple or brown
d. Red or pink
Answer: d) Red or pink
In Gram staining, a primary stain stains gram-positive organisms purple and a counterstain stains the gram-negative organisms red or pink. You can remember this by "keeping your P's together" Purple is Positive. 4) HEMATOLOGY
Which anticoagulant is used for red blood cell counts?
a. EDTA
b. Heparin
c. Sodium citrate
d. Sodium fluoride
Answer: a) EDTA
EDTA is the best anticoagulant for preserving the morphology of blood cells. For this reason, red blood cell counts are collected in a tube containing EDTA. 5) IMMUNOLOGY
Which leukocytes are nongranular?
a. Basophils and mast cells
b. Basophils and monocytes
c. Lymphocytes and monocytes
d. Neutrophils and eosinophils
Answer: c) Lymphocytes and monocytes
The nongranular leukocytes are lymphocytes and monocytes. These leukocytes have no obvious granules in their cytoplasm.
The granular leukocytes are neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, and mast cells. 6) IMMUNOHEMATOLOGY
Which of these tests can detect heterophile antibodies?
a. ABO typing
b. Indirect antiglobulin test
c. Karyotype test
d. Mononucleosis test
Answer: d) Mononucleosis test
The mononucleosis test detects heterophile antibodies produced in response to an Epstein-Barr virus infection, the virus that causes mononucleosis.
