a. Infectious agent
b. Mode of transmission
c. Portal of entry
d. Reservoir
Answer: c) Portal of entry
The portal of entry is the method a pathogen uses to enter a susceptible host. Examples include the respiratory tract, blood, mucous membranes, and broken skin. 2) DATA AND SPECIMEN COLLECTION AND HANDLING
What is a neutrophil?
a. A bacteria that prefers a neutral (pH 7) environment
b. A chemical with a neutral pH
c. A type of coagulation factor in the blood
d. A type of white blood cell
Answer: d) A type of white blood cell 3) PRE-ANALYTICAL PROCEDURES
A laboratory has an autoclave rule stating "Do not fill containers more than half full with liquids". If a lab technician has to prepare 220 ml of media for autoclaving, then which of these volume containers would be most appropriate?
a. 200 mL
b. 300 mL
c. 400 mL
d. 500 mL
Answer: d) 500 mL
2 × 220 mL = 440 mL. This means only the 500 mL container can contain 220 mL without becoming more than half-full. 4) REAGENT PREPARATION
A lab technician is making a solution by combining 3 parts of a solute with 7 parts of water. How many millilitres of the solute and water are needed to make 100 mL of the solution?
a. 7 mL of solute and 3 mL of water
b. 10 mL of solute and 70 mL of water
c. 30 mL of solute and 70 mL of water
d. 70 mL of solute and 30 mL of water
Answer: c) 30 mL of solute and 70 mL of water
3 + 7 is a total of 10 parts.
Therefore, the amount of solute needed: 100 mL × 3/10 = 30 mL
Amount of water needed: 100 mL × 7/10 = 70 mL 5) COMMUNICATION AND INTERACTION
What can be predicted when a team is highly cohesive?
a. High member satisfaction
b. High-performance results
c. Positive performance norms
d. Status congruity
Answer: a) High member satisfaction 6) QUALITY MANAGEMENT
A control has a mean of 2.8 with a standard deviation of 0.3. This means 68% of the values should fall within a range of:
a. 2.0-3.1
b. 2.2-3.4
c. 2.2-3.4
d. 2.5-3.1
Answer: d) 2.5-3.1
In a normal distribution, 68% of values will fall within one standard deviation of the mean. One standard deviation here is 0.3. Therefore, to find the range of values that fall within one standard deviation, simply add and subtract 0.3 from the mean:
2.8 + 0.3 = 3.1
2.8 - 0.3 = 2.5
Therefore the range for one standard deviation is 2.5-3.1.
