Description
This is a book of 180 multiple-choice practice questions for the CSMLS Medical Laboratory Assistant (MLA) certification exam.
Just like the real exam, the questions are drawn from eight competency areas:
- Safe Work Practices
- Data and Specimen Collection and Handling
- Pre-analytical Procedures
- Reagent Preparation
- Communication and Interaction
- Quality Management
- Professional Practice
- Critical Thinking
All questions have been carefully designed to reflect the real CSMLS MLA certification exam, making this book the ideal tool to prepare for the exam.
To give you an idea of what the questions are like, below are three questions from the book:1) Where should sterilization indicators be placed in an autoclave?
a. Close to the air exhaust valve
b. In the center of each article
c. On the bottom shelf of the autoclave
d. On the outside of each pack 2) When a blood vessel is damaged, what is the first process that occurs?
a. coagulation
b. hemolysis
c. platelet plug formation
d. vasoconstriction 3) If a control has a mean of 5 and a standard deviation of 1, then 95% of the values obtained should fall within what range?
a. 1-9
b. 2-8
c. 3-7
d. 4-6 Answers
1) b. In the center of each article
2) d. vasoconstriction. When a blood vessel is damaged, three steps occur: vasoconstriction, platelet plug formation, and coagulation.
3) c. 3-7. 95% of all values are within two standard deviations of the mean. If one standard deviation is 1, then two standard deviations are 2 (1 × 2). Therefore, to find the range of values that fall within two standard deviations, add and subtract 2 from the mean: 5 + 2 = 7 and 5 - 2 = 3. Therefore the range for two standard deviations is 3 to 7.
