SAMPLE QUESTIONS
To give you a preview, here are five sample questions from the book:

Question 1. The monitoring of laboratory processes to ensure the accuracy of test results is an aspect of:
a) corporate compliance
b) critical thinking
c) quality assurance
d) risk management

Question 2. What do double rings on a pipette mean?
a) The last drop must be blown out
b) The pipette can hold 2 mL
c) The pipette will deliver the measured amount of liquid only at 20°C
d) The volume is measured at this point

Question 3. Which CLIA certificate allows laboratories to conduct moderate or high complexity tests before the laboratory is inspected and a final certificate is issued?
a) Accreditation
b) Compliance
c) Registration
d) Waiver

Question 4. Which of these is a CLIA-waived test?
a) Complete blood count
b) Urine hCG test
c) Immunoassay
d) Peripheral smear

Question 5. For data distributed normally, how many values are within two standard deviations from the mean?
a) 50%
b) 68%
c) 83%
d) 95%

Answers
1) c. quality assurance
Quality assurance helps ensure that processes produce reliable and accurate results. In laboratories, quality assurance involves monitoring, evaluating, and improving the testing process, from sample collection to final reporting.

2) a. The last drop must be blown out
A pipette with two etched rings is a "blow-out" pipette. This means after you have drawn up and dispensed the liquid, you need to blow out the remaining liquid clinging to the pipette walls by blowing with a rubber bulb.

3) c. Registration
Certificates of Registration are issued to allow the laboratory to perform non-waived testing until the laboratory is surveyed. Once the laboratory is inspected and found in compliance, a final certificate of compliance or accreditation is issued.

4) b. Urine hCG test
CLIA-waived tests are easy to perform and have a low risk of incorrect results. The urine hCG test is an example of a CLIA-waived test. The test uses a dipstick to detect hCG in urine; the presence of hCG in urine indicates pregnancy.

5) d. 95%
For data distributed normally, 95% of data falls within two standard deviations of the mean.
