    Which of the following is an example of a CLIA waived test? ____

    • Pap test

    • Dipstick urinalysis test

    • Pulmonary function test

    • TB skin test

    Correct Answer
    A. Dipstick urinalysis test
    Explanation
    A CLIA waived test is a test that is considered simple and low risk, and can be performed outside of a traditional laboratory setting. The dipstick urinalysis test is a prime example of a CLIA waived test because it involves using a dipstick to quickly analyze a urine sample for various substances such as glucose, protein, and pH levels. This test can be easily performed in a doctor's office or at home, without the need for specialized equipment or trained laboratory personnel.

    Which of the following abbreviations is not related to glucose testing? ____

    • GTT

    • VLDL

    • OGTT

    • FBG (FBS)

    • A1C

    Correct Answer
    A. VLDL
    Explanation
    VLDL stands for Very Low-Density Lipoprotein, which is a type of lipoprotein that transports triglycerides and cholesterol in the bloodstream. It is not related to glucose testing as it primarily focuses on lipid levels rather than glucose levels. On the other hand, GTT (Glucose Tolerance Test), OGTT (Oral Glucose Tolerance Test), FBG (Fasting Blood Glucose), and A1C are all abbreviations commonly used in the context of glucose testing.

    People who do not exercise regularly, are overweight, and eat mostly saturated fats will probably increase their level of which of the following? ____

    • Albumin

    • Bad cholesterol (LDL)

    • Glucose

    • Good cholesterol (HDL)

    Correct Answer
    A. Bad cholesterol (LDL)
    Explanation
    People who do not exercise regularly, are overweight, and eat mostly saturated fats are likely to increase their level of bad cholesterol (LDL). Regular exercise helps to increase the levels of good cholesterol (HDL) and reduce the levels of bad cholesterol (LDL). Being overweight and consuming a diet high in saturated fats can lead to an increase in LDL cholesterol levels, which can contribute to the development of cardiovascular diseases.

    Which of the following lymphocytes differentiate into plasma cells and memory cells with the subsequent production of antibodies (humoral immunity)?

    • T cells

    • NK cells

    • B cells

    • T helper cells

    Correct Answer
    A. B cells
    Explanation
    B cells are a type of lymphocyte that differentiate into plasma cells and memory cells. Plasma cells are responsible for producing antibodies, which are proteins that help to neutralize pathogens and foreign substances in the body. Memory cells, on the other hand, "remember" the specific antigens encountered by the immune system, allowing for a faster and more effective immune response upon subsequent exposure to the same antigen. This process is part of the humoral immune response, which involves the production of antibodies to fight off infections. T cells, NK cells, and T helper cells have different roles in the immune system and do not directly produce antibodies.

    Which of the following nonspecific immunity mechanisms involves the process of certain cells engulfing and destroying microorganisms and cellular debris?

    • Inflammation

    • Intact skin and mucous membranes

    • Normal flora

    • Phagocytosis

    Correct Answer
    A. Phagocytosis
    Explanation
    Phagocytosis is a nonspecific immunity mechanism that involves certain cells engulfing and destroying microorganisms and cellular debris. During phagocytosis, specialized cells such as macrophages and neutrophils recognize and engulf foreign particles or pathogens. These cells then break down and destroy the engulfed material using enzymes and other antimicrobial substances. This process helps to eliminate harmful microorganisms and cellular debris from the body, contributing to the body's defense against infections and maintaining overall health.

    Which of the five types of antibodies are involved in allergic reactions?

    • IgE

    • IgM

    • IgA

    • IgG

    Correct Answer
    A. IgE
    Explanation
    IgE antibodies are involved in allergic reactions. IgE antibodies are produced by the immune system in response to allergens, such as pollen, pet dander, or certain foods. When a person with allergies is exposed to these allergens, IgE antibodies bind to mast cells and basophils, triggering the release of histamine and other chemicals. This immune response leads to the symptoms of an allergic reaction, such as sneezing, itching, and swelling. IgM, IgA, and IgG antibodies are not typically involved in allergic reactions.
