Question
1.
Review the following serum test results:
Creatinine:2.5mg/dL
Cholesterol:220mg/dL
Glucose:110mg/dL
Urea:40mg/dL
Uric acid:5.9mg/dL
These results are most consistent with:
Compromised renal function
Impaired glucose metabolism
Diagnosis of gouty arthritis
Chemotherapy treatment
2.
Calculate the corrected creatinine clearance using these data obtained from a person with a 1.73m2 body surface area:
Serum creatinine:1.3mg/dL
Urine creatinine:2.4mg/mL
Urine volume:1000mL/24h
119mL/min
128mL/min
139mL/min
167mL/min
3.
Use the following information for the next three questions. A four year old child has the following labs performed:
Urine creatinine = 67 mg/dLplasma creatinine = 0.4 mg/dL
24 hour urine volume = 430 mLbody surface area = 0.865 m2
Urinary protein = 8 mg/dL
The creatinine clearance indicates
Normal glomerular filtration rate
Compromised renal function
50% reduction of in number of functioning nephrons
Acute renal failure
4.
Which of the following is not usually considered to be a function of an automated analyzer?
Dilutions
Proportioning of reagent
Auto-verification
Incubation
Mixing
5.
Signal processing involves:
Analog-to-digital conversion of signals that is quite slow
Analog-to-digital conversion of signals that is quite rapid
Mainframe computers but not desktop and laptop computers
Very simple algorithms to produce meaningful output to health care providers
6.
What is the PRIMARY goal of laboratory automation?
Laboratory personnel reduction
Error prevention
Mandated by inspection agencies
Increase workstations
7.
Archiving and retrieval of specimens is a time consuming process that can be automated using stand-alone systems.
True
False
a.Compromised renal function
b.Impaired glucose metabolism
c.Diagnosis of gouty arthritis
