|
||||

🗑
|
||||
| What directive contains a complete listing of all standard forms (SF) and their purposes? | Manual of the Medical Department, (MANMED), NAVMED P-117
🗑
|
||||
| What form is used to request a urinalysis test? | SF-550, Urinalysis Request Form.
🗑
|
||||
| What part of the SF-550 Urinalysis Request Form would you enter "Clean catch midstream to R/O urinary tract infection," if applicable? | In the "Remarks" block.
🗑
|
||||
| How should a standard form that is used to record test results, be attahed to the SF-545, Laboratory Record Display, inside the patient's health record? | In chronological order.
🗑
|
||||
| What are two principal methods of obtaining blood samples? | Finger Puncture and Venipuncture.
🗑
|
||||
| What part of the microscope is the the platform on which a preparation is placed for examination? | The stage (of the framework).
🗑
|
||||
| What should NEVER be used to clean microscope lenses? | Alcohol or similar solvent.
🗑
|
||||
| What are the 5 test involved in a complete blood count? | Total RBC count; hemoglobin determination; hematocrit reading; total white blood cell (WBC) count; and the differential WBC.
🗑
|
||||
| Which RBCs should NOT be counted in the manual Sahli Pipette blood count method? | Those touching the lines on the right and at the bottom.
🗑
|
||||
| What is needed to manually count red blood cells (erythrocytes) and white blood cells (leukocytes)? | A microscope and an instrument called a hemacytometer.
🗑
|
||||
| What is the hemacytometer? | A thick glass slide with three raised parallel platforms on the middle third of the device.
🗑
|
||||
| What is the composition of the central platform of the hemacytometer? | It is subdivided by a transverse groove to form two halves, each wider than the two lateral platforms and separated from them and from each other by moats.
🗑
|
||||
| What hemacytometer grid is used by most laboratories for counting blood cells? | The Improved Neubauer Ruling.
🗑
|
||||
| How are counts of RBCs and WBCs each expressed? | As concentration: cells per unit volume of blood.
🗑
|
||||
| Why is the unit of volume for cell counts expressed as cubic millimeters? | Because of the linear dimensions of the hemacytometer chamber.
🗑
|
||||
| What is the total red blood cell (erythrocyte) count? | The number of red cells in one cubic millimeter of blood
🗑
|
||||
| What method is used to manually count red blood cells? | The Unopette Method.
🗑
|
||||
| What is used in the Unopette procedure for manually counting red blood cells? | A disposable diluting pipette system that provides a convenient, precise, and accurate method for obtaining a red blood cell count.
🗑
|
||||
| What materials are needed to perform the Unopette Method of counting red blood cells? | A disposable Unopette, hemacytometer and coverglass, microscope with light source, hand-held counter, and a laboratory chit.
🗑
|
||||
| What is the first step in the Unopette procedure for counting red blood cells? | Puncture the diaphragm in the neck of the diluent reservoir with the tip of the capillary shield on the capillary pipette.
🗑
|
||||
| When is filling of the Unopette pipette complete and will stop automatically? | When the blood reaches the end of the capillary bore in the neck of the pipette.
🗑
|
||||
| In the Unopette Method for counting red blood cells, how much blood is discarded from the pipette, before loading the counting chamber of the hemacytometer? | The first three drops.
🗑
|
||||
| What action is taken when counting cells in each field that touch the lines on the right or at the left bottom of the hemacytometer? | Don't count them.
🗑
|
||||
| What is indicated in counting red blood cells if each field of the hemacytometer varies by more than 20? | Probably indicates a poor distribution of the cells in the fluid, resulting in an inaccurate count, and the test must be repeated.
🗑
|
||||
| What is the formula for determining the number of RBCs per cubic millimeter of blood when using the hemacytometer? | Total the number of cells counted in all five fields and multiply by 10,000.
🗑
|
||||
| What is hemoglobin's main function in the body? | To carry oxygen from the lungs to the tissues and to assist in transporting carbon dioxide from the tissues to the lungs.
🗑
|
||||
| What is hemoglobinometry? | The measurement of the concentration of hemoglobin in the blood.
🗑
|
||||
| Where does the formation of hemoglobin take place? | In the developing red cells located in bone marrow.
🗑
|
||||
| How does dehydration affect hemoglobin? | It results in above-normal hemoglobin values.
🗑
|
||||
| What is the most widely used automated method for testing for hemoglobin values? | The cyanmethemoglobin method.
🗑
|
||||
| What are the manual methods for determining blood hemoglobin? | The Haden-Hausse and Sahli-Hellige methods.
🗑
|
||||
