Medical Intervention
The six categories are immunology, surgery, genetics, pharmacology, medical devices, and this one.
What is diagnostics?
This technique copies (amplifies) DNA so there's enough to sequence.
What is PCR?
The best micropipette for measuring 15 µl.
What is a P20?
In ELISA, this molecule from the pathogen sits at the bottom of the well.
What is the antigen?
This federal law protects patient health information.
What is HIPAA?
A vaccine that trains your immune system belongs to this category.
What is immunology?
This online database compares a DNA sequence to known organisms.
What is BLAST?
1 ml of sample added to 9 ml of diluent gives this tube dilution.
What is 1/10?
This antibody binds directly to the antigen.
What is the primary antibody?
Old patient records must be destroyed this way instead of going in the trash.
What is shredding?
Taking antibiotics for strep throat falls under this category.
What is pharmacology?
The strongest BLAST evidence is a match this high to a single organism.
What is about 99%?
To get the final dilution, you do this to all the tube dilutions.
What is multiply?
This antibody carries the enzyme
What is the secondary antibody?
True or false: a nurse looking up her husband's lab results just to know sooner is a HIPAA violation.
What is true?
A pacemaker is an example of this category.
What are medical instruments/devices?
Tracking down everyone an infected person has been near.
What is contact tracing?
The final dilution after a 1/10 tube followed by a 1/50 tube.
What is 1/500?
This reacts with the enzyme to cause the color change.
What is the substrate?
In an outbreak, patient privacy has to be balanced against this.
What is public safety?
Hydration, surgery, or genetics: this one is NOT a category of medical intervention.
What is hydration?
Antibiotics will NOT work on this type of pathogen.
What is a virus?
Tube 1 is 600 ng/ml. Tube 2 is a 1/20 dilution. This is Tube 2's concentration.
What is 30 ng/ml?
Antibodies do this to antigens, which is what makes ELISA work.
What is bind specifically?
For a confirmed bacterial infection, the doctor should prescribe this while keeping the patient's info confidential.
What are antibiotics?
