tomy - To make an incision #1 principle occupational risk for
phlebotomist? - Contracting a BBP (bloodborne pathogen) infection
from an accidental needle stick 2 main areas of the clinical
laboratory? - -anatomical and surgical pathology area -clinical
pathology area 3 latex sensitivity reactions - - Irritant contact
dermatitis - Allergic can't act dermatitis - Anaphylaxis 3 sections
of anatomic and surgical pathology area - -Cytogenetics -
Cytopathology -Histology Activated Partial Thromboplastin time
(aPTT) - Is used to monitor intravenous (IV) heparin therapy and
coagulation factor deficiency Airborne infection isolation
precautions - Used for patients known to have or suspected of
having a diseas transmitted by airborne droplet nuclei. Ex. Measles,
varicella, TB Airborne transmission - Airborne dropeler nuclei or
dust particles that contain the infectious microorganisms Allergic
contact dermatitis - Is a allergic response in which the body's
immune system reacts to the proteins or other components of the
latex that are absorbed through the skin. Systems may not be
localized to the exposed area. Anaphylaxis - Is a rapid, severe
immune reaction that can be life threatening if not treated. Epi
pen injection and emergency room management are needed for
anaphylaxis. Anatomical and Surgical pathology area - Analyzes
the characteristics of cells and tissues Autologous Donation - The
donation of your own blood for use later on BBP - Bloodborne
pathogen Blood type - Is determined by the presence and type of
particular antigens of the surface of red blood sells (RBCs) BUN -
Blood Urea Nitrogen CAP - College of American pathologists CBC -
Complete blood count CDC - Centers for disease control and
, prevention Centrifuge - Spins the sample at high speeds to
separate components based on density Certification - Is evidence of
that an individual has demonstrated proficiency in a particular
area of practice Chain of infection - Requires a continuous link
through 3 primary elements: the reservoir, the means of
transmission, and the susceptible host Chemical hygiene plan (CHP)
- OSHA requires that every workplace develops and train it
employees in this plan. - The plan describes all safety procedures,
special precautions, and emergency procedures used when working
with chemical. Chemistry panels - May be performed as either
single tests or as groups. Ex. Electrolytes, cholesterol, lipid panel,
glucose, liver function panel, renal disease(kidney function) Clinical
Pathology Area - Analyzes blood and other body fluids CLSI -
Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute - Set the standards
and guidelines for laboratories Coagulation - Depends on the
presence of clotting factors and platelets. Performed on plasma.
Test performed for stroke and heart attack patients Common
vehicle transmission - Involves a common source that causes
multiple cases of disease. Caused by contaminated items such as
food, water, medication and equipment Complete Blood Count -
(CBC) the most common hematology test Confidentiality - All
information regarding a patients condition, including the types of
tests ordered or the results of those tests, is confidential medical
information Contact precautions - Are used for patients known to
have or suspected of having diseases or conditions transmitted by
direct patient contact or by contact with items in the patients
environment Contact transmission - Is the most frequent and
important transmission route for health care associated infections
Culture and sensitivity tests - (C&S) the most common
microbiology test. It detects and identifies microorganisms and
determines the most effective antibiotic therapy Cytogenetics
department - Examines chromosomes for evidence of genetic
