Sample Questions

Question 1
A 55-year-old patient has a blood draw performed with a tourniquet applied for 5 minutes. Which analytes are most affected by prolonged venous stasis?
Sodium and chloride
Protein, calcium, potassium, lactate, and enzymes (CK, AST, ALT) — falsely elevated due to hemoconcentration and hemolysis
Only glucose
None
Question 2
A hemolyzed serum specimen will falsely ELEVATE which analytes?
Sodium only
Potassium, LDH, AST, magnesium, phosphate, and iron due to release from lysed RBCs; also interferes with bilirubin and spectrophotometric assays
Glucose
Urea
Question 3
A specimen collected for potassium testing was stored in EDTA tube. Result is 2.1 mEq/L. Interpretation?
True hypokalemia
Contamination/pseudohypokalemia — EDTA binds potassium, but more likely issue is contamination of sample with EDTA or sample from EDTA tube causing falsely LOW K+. Recollect in appropriate tube (red/SST for chemistry)
Normal potassium
Hyperkalemia
Question 4
Pseudohyperkalemia from thrombocytosis or leukocytosis is diagnosed by:
Imaging
Comparison of plasma (heparinized) vs serum K+; higher serum K+ (due to release during clot formation) indicates pseudohyperkalemia
Urine K+
ECG
Question 5
Universal precautions in a clinical chemistry laboratory require:
Only eye protection
Treating all specimens as potentially infectious — PPE (gloves, lab coat, eye protection), needle safety devices, no recapping, sharps containers, biosafety cabinet for aerosol-generating procedures, vaccine requirements (hepatitis B)
Only lab coat
No precautions
