Safety Dance
Developed by the CDC, this protocol involves treating all patients as potentially infectious.
What is Universal or Standard Precautions?
The RPR test for the detection of syphilis is an example of this type of test.
What is a non-treponemal test?
This type of sample is needed for the RF and CRP assay.
What is fresh serum?
Syphilis is caused by this organism.
What is treponema palladium?
This value numerates the probability that a person with a negative screening test does not have the disease that they are being screened for.
What is negative predictive value?
DD: This is the second step to use a fire extinguisher.
What is aim?
This type of analyzer performs a single assay on numerous samples.
What is a Batch analyzer?
The polystyrene latex particles in the CRP test are coated with this type of immunoglobulin.
What is IgG?
We used heterophile antibodies to perform this test.
What is infectious mononucleosis?
The engulfment, digestion and elimination of foreign particles by phagocytic cells.
What is phagocytosis?
This is what the C stands for in RACE.
What is contain?
This is a type of agglutination reaction that involves the clumping of red blood cells.
What is hemagglutination?
DD: This is significantly reduced when patients lack signs and symptoms consistent with rheumatoid arthritis.
What is specificity and sensitivity?
This is the type of latex test for mononucleosis that was used in our lab exercise.
What is Paul-Bunnell?
The RPR test performed in lab is an example of this test method which involes the visible coagglutination of carbon particles.
What is flocculation?
This is the simplest and most effective way to prevent the spread of infection in the healthcare setting.
What is handwashing?
This assay can be described as a serological reaction in which antibody specific for an antigen bound to a carrier particle forms a visible complex that is detected macroscopically.
What is Agglutination?
RF factor is an autoimmune antibody specific for this portion of human immunoglobulin.
What is Fc?
This bacteria is the causative agent of Strep A infections.
What is S. pyogenes?
The RPR test performed in lab used cardiolipin to detect the presence of this in the patient's serum.
What is reagin?
After performing the phagocytosis test, this is where the slides should be disposed.
What is a sharps container?
An automated process that analyzes cells or beads in fluid suspensions for their light scattering characteristics.
What is flow cytometry?
This test, performed in lab, can be described as an opsonizing acute phase reactant.
What is CRP?
This must be done in VDRL testing to reduce interference from complement.
What is heat to 56C?
In our lab exercise, the reagent used in our Rubella test is best described as latex particles coated with this.
What is Rubella virus antigen?
