MLT ASCP PRACTICE TEST QUESTIONS BOARD PRACTICE 2023 LATEST SOLUTION UPDATE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS The correct answer for this question is 1300 mg/dL. The laboratorian performed a 1:4 dilution by adding 0.25 mL (or 250 microliters) of patient sample to 750 microliters of diluent. This creates a total volume of 1000 microliters. So, the patient sample is 250 microliters of the 1000 microliter mixed sample, or a ratio of 1:4. Therefore, the result given by the chemistry analyzer must be multipli...

B; The correct answer for this question is 1300 mg/dL. The laboratorian performed a 1:4 dilution by adding 0.25 mL (or 250 microliters) of patient sample to 750 microliters of diluent. This creates a total volume of 1000 microliters. So, the patient sample is 250 microliters of the 1000 microliter mixed sample, or a ratio of 1:4. Therefore, the result given by the chemistry analyzer must be multiplied by a dilution factor of 4. 325 mg/dL x 4 = 1300 mg/dL. - After experiencing extreme fatigue an...

A 10 mL fetal maternal hemorrhage in an Rh-negative woman who delivered an Rh-positive baby means that the: a. mother's antibody screen will be positive for anti-O b. rosette test will be positive c. mother is not a candidate for Rh immune globulin d. mother should receive 2 doses of Rh immune globulin - b. The rosette screen will be positive if there is a FMH of 10 mL or more. A Kleihauer Betke or flow cytometry should be performed to quantitate the FMH and determine if additional doses...
