The process of making incision in the Vein with a needle is known as
- A.
  
  Blood Extraction
- B.
  
  Blood Fission
- C.
  
  Venipuncture
- D.
  
  Venicollector
Correct Answer
C. Venipuncture

Explanation
Venipuncture is the correct answer because it refers to the process of making an incision in a vein with a needle. This procedure is commonly performed to collect blood samples for diagnostic testing or to administer intravenous medications or fluids. The term "Blood Extraction" is not specific enough and could refer to various methods of obtaining blood samples. "Blood Fission" is not a recognized medical term. "Venicollector" is not a term commonly used to describe this procedure.

By what means could blood be collected from an infant?
- A.
  
  Syringe and injection
- B.
  
  Vacuette
- C.
  
  Heel stick
- D.
  
  Vacutainer
Correct Answer
C. Heel stick

Explanation
A heel stick is a common method used to collect blood from infants. It involves puncturing the baby's heel with a small lancet to obtain a blood sample. This method is preferred in infants because the heel is easily accessible, and the small amount of blood required for testing can be obtained without causing significant discomfort or harm to the baby.

What technique did the early Phlebotomist used to collect blood ?
- A.
  
  Leeches and Incision
- B.
  
  Venipuncture and Lidocaine
- C.
  
  Vacuette and Vacutainer
- D.
  
  Heel stick and Syringe
Correct Answer
A. Leeches and Incision

Explanation
In the early days, phlebotomists used leeches and incisions to collect blood. Leeches were applied to the skin to create small wounds, and the blood was collected as the leeches fed. Incisions were made with a sharp instrument, allowing the blood to flow out and be collected. These techniques were used before the development of more modern and less invasive methods such as venipuncture and the use of tools like vacuette and vacutainer or a syringe for blood collection.

What is used to reduce pain and alleviate distress during Venipuncture in Pediatric Patients
- A.
  
  Pathogen Fission
- B.
  
  Codeine
- C.
  
  Lidocaine iontophorosis
- D.
  
  Pain killer
Correct Answer
C. Lidocaine iontophorosis

Explanation
Lidocaine iontophoresis is used to reduce pain and alleviate distress during venipuncture in pediatric patients. Iontophoresis is a technique that uses a small electrical current to deliver lidocaine, a local anesthetic, through the skin. This helps numb the area and reduce pain during the procedure. Lidocaine iontophoresis is a safe and effective method for managing pain in pediatric patients, making it a suitable option for venipuncture procedures.

6.

What is required to determine Pathogen in the blood ?
- A.
  
  Pathology
- B.
  
  Pathogen pills
- C.
  
  Pathogen detector
- D.
  
  Blood Culture
Correct Answer
D. Blood Culture

Explanation
To determine the presence of pathogens in the blood, a blood culture is required. A blood culture involves taking a sample of the patient's blood and placing it in a culture medium that promotes the growth of bacteria or fungi. This allows the pathogens to multiply and be identified through various laboratory tests. Blood culture is a standard diagnostic procedure used to identify and isolate the specific pathogen causing an infection in the bloodstream. It helps in guiding appropriate treatment decisions and monitoring the effectiveness of therapy.

Pathogens living without Oxygen is known as
- A.
  
  Aerobic
- B.
  
  Anaerobic
- C.
  
  Red blood cell
- D.
  
  Platelets
Correct Answer
B. Anaerobic

Explanation
Anaerobic refers to organisms that can live and survive without the presence of oxygen. These organisms have adapted to environments with low or no oxygen levels and have developed alternative metabolic processes to generate energy. They can be found in various habitats, such as deep-sea hydrothermal vents, sewage treatment plants, and the human digestive system. Anaerobic bacteria are known to cause diseases such as tetanus, botulism, and gangrene.

The two most common blood evacuation tube system are
- A.
  
  Vacutainer and Vacuette
- B.

- D.
  
  Syringe and tube
Correct Answer
A. Vacutainer and Vacuette

Explanation
The correct answer is Vacutainer and Vacuette. These are the two most common blood evacuation tube systems used in medical settings. Vacutainer and Vacuette are both brand names for blood collection tubes that are used to collect and store blood samples. These tubes are designed to create a vacuum seal when blood is drawn into them, allowing for easy and efficient collection of blood samples. They are widely used in hospitals, clinics, and laboratories for various diagnostic tests and procedures.

C. Upper Limb

Explanation
Blood is commonly obtained at the superficial vein in the upper limb. The upper limb includes the arm, forearm, and hand. These areas have several superficial veins, such as the cephalic vein, basilic vein, and median cubital vein, which are easily accessible for blood collection. The veins in the upper limb are often used for procedures like venipuncture and intravenous therapy due to their accessibility and low risk of complications.

  Anaerobic
- C.
  
  White Blood Cell
- D.
  
  Platelets
Correct Answer
A. Aerobic

Explanation
Pathogens that live with oxygen are known as aerobic. Aerobic organisms require oxygen to carry out their metabolic processes, such as respiration. These pathogens thrive in environments with oxygen and may cause various infections and diseases in humans and other organisms. They utilize oxygen to generate energy and survive in aerobic conditions.
