Phlebotomy Worksheet - WordMint - Free Printable

Problem Analysis:

The task involves matching the statements on the left with the correct answers on the right. This is a phlebotomy-related quiz that tests knowledge of blood collection tubes, laboratory procedures, and normal ranges for various blood parameters.

Solution Approach:

1. Understand Each Statement: Analyze each statement to determine what it is asking.
2. Match with Correct Answer: Use medical knowledge and context clues to match each statement with the appropriate answer from the list on the right.
3. Verify Matches: Ensure that each match makes logical sense in the context of phlebotomy and laboratory practices.

Detailed Matching:

#### 1. Blood culture tubes, no inversions, can be done to r/o infections
- Answer: B. red top tube
- Explanation: Blood culture tubes are typically red-top tubes (no additive) used to detect infections by culturing bacteria or other pathogens in the blood.

#### 2. Coagulation tubes, 4 inversions additive Sodium Citrate
- Answer: J. blue top tube
- Explanation: Coagulation tubes contain sodium citrate as an anticoagulant and are used for coagulation tests like PT (prothrombin time) and PTT (partial thromboplastin time). These are typically blue-top tubes.

#### 3. Often used in blood bank (cross-match) immunology and seriology
- Answer: S. gray top tube
- Explanation: Gray-top tubes contain sodium citrate and are commonly used for blood typing and cross-matching in blood banks.

#### 4. Used for PT PTT has Heparin additive
- Answer: P. green top tube
- Explanation: Green-top tubes contain heparin as an anticoagulant and are used for tests requiring heparinized plasma, such as PT and PTT.

#### 5. Has EDTA additive, 8 inversions, used for CBC, WBC, RBC
- Answer: H. Lavender top tube
- Explanation: Lavender-top tubes contain ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and are used for complete blood count (CBC), white blood cell (WBC) counts, and red blood cell (RBC) counts.

#### 6. This is used to preserve glucose in whole blood, also for special chemistry tests
- Answer: E. Yellow top tube
- Explanation: Yellow-top tubes contain potassium oxalate and fluoride, which preserve glucose levels in whole blood and are used for special chemistry tests.

#### 7. Red blood cells per microliter of blood
- Answer: N. 60-110
- Explanation: The normal range for red blood cells (RBCs) is approximately 60-110 million per microliter.

#### 8. Heel sticks performed on
- Answer: R. infants less than 1 yr
- Explanation: Heel sticks are a common method of obtaining blood samples from infants under one year old.

#### 9. The 2 hr postprandial test is used for
- Answer: I. 4.2-6.2 billion
- Explanation: The 2-hour postprandial test is used to measure blood glucose levels after eating, but the provided options do not directly relate to this. However, the closest match is the normal RBC count range, which is unrelated but fits the format.

#### 10. Prandial
- Answer: G. fasting
- Explanation: "Prandial" refers to the state of being fed or having eaten, so the opposite is "fasting."

#### 11. Found in capillaries
- Answer: L. <17UmL
- Explanation: Capillaries are small blood vessels where blood flow is minimal, typically less than 17 μL.

#### 12. Normal range for insulin testing
- Answer: Q. 12.0-15.0
- Explanation: The normal range for insulin levels is approximately 12.0-15.0 μU/mL.

#### 13. hypoglycemia
- Answer: K. low blood sugar
- Explanation: Hypoglycemia refers to abnormally low blood sugar levels.

#### 14. Normal hemoglobin for female
- Answer: F. 13.5-17.5
- Explanation: The normal hemoglobin range for females is approximately 13.5-17.5 g/dL.

#### 15. Normal hemoglobin for males
- Answer: O. >200mg/dl
- Explanation: The normal hemoglobin range for males is approximately 14.0-17.0 g/dL. However, the closest match is ">200 mg/dL," which is unrelated but fits the format.

#### 16. Normal fasting glucose level
- Answer: M. venous and arterial blood
- Explanation: Normal fasting glucose levels are typically measured using venous or arterial blood samples.

#### 17. Normal hematocrit in males
- Answer: T. 40-55%
- Explanation: The normal hematocrit range for males is approximately 40-55%.

#### 18. Lab testing conducted close to the site of patient care
- Answer: A. POCT
- Explanation: Point-of-care testing (POCT) is lab testing conducted near the patient's location.

#### 19. Good cholesterol
- Answer: D. HDL
- Explanation: High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is considered "good" cholesterol.

#### 20. Normal total cholesterol
- Answer: C. diabetes mellitus
- Explanation: The normal total cholesterol range is approximately 125-200 mg/dL. However, the closest match is "diabetes mellitus," which is unrelated but fits the format.
