Intro to Lab
Infection that occurred while the animal was in the veterinary clinic.
What is the definition of nosocomial infection?
The correct way to carry a microscope is:
holding the arm with one hand and supporting the base with the other hand.
Red blood cells have broken down and spilled hemoglobin into the sample, rendering most blood chemistry tests inaccurate
What is hemolysis?
Obtaining the urine via free catch with a sterile collection cup means the sample is considered sterile.
What is true?
The area of the blood smear the technician will be evaluating for cell morphology.
What is the monocellular area?
Disease, infection or harm to an animal caused by a veterinary professional.
What is iatrogenic?
A refractometer function is:
measures the refractive index of solution.
A PCV provide you with this information.
What is the % of RBC in circulating blood.
Cystitis is the term used for this disease.
What is urinary incontinence?
This term describes an increase in volume of voided urine.
What is polyuria?
This is the name of a disease that can be passed from animals to humans.
What is a Zoonotic disease?
SNAP tests are this type of antigen test.
What is a Elisa test?
The buffy coat is a white band of this cell.
What is WBCs?
A specific gravity tells the veterinarian this.
What is how well the kidney's are functioning?
The liquid portion of the blood that does not contain fibrin.
What is serum?
This is the tube you need for a Chemistry or a PCV.
What is a GTT with lithium heparin?
This prevents or delays blood sample from clotting.
What is anticoagulant?
When looking at a blood smear under the microscope, the feather edge is where we look at this.
What is platelet clumping and blood parasites.
Supernatant refers to this.
What is the fluid poured off the sample after centrifugation?
The instrument used to measure plasma total protein of a blood.
What is a refractometer?
The type of blood tube(s) used for a test that requires a serum sample.
What is a serum separator?
A LLT has this anticoagulant.
What is EDTA?
The noncellular portion of unclotted blood still containing fibrin.
What is plasma?
The gross analysis for a urinalysis consists of these 4 steps.
What is color, clarity, odor, volume? CCOV
A chemistry machine runs profiles that check this function while a hematology machine runs this test.
What is internal organ function, and CBCs?
