After experiencing extreme fatigue and polyuria, a patient's basic metabolic panel is analyzed in the laboratory. The result of the glucose is too high for the instrument to read. The laboratorian performs a dilution using 0.25 mL of patient sample to 750 microliters of diluent. The result now reads 325 mg/dL. How should the techologist report this patient's glucose result? A. 325 mg/dL B. 1300 mg/dL C. 975 mg/dL D. 1625 mg/dL : B; The correct answer for this question is 1300 mg/...

Standard precautions apply to all of the following except: a. Blood b. Cerebrospinal fluid c. Semen d. Concentrated acids : d. Concentrated acids The most important practice in preventing the spread of disease is: a. Wearing masks during patient contact b. Proper hand washing c. Wearing disposable laboratory coats d. Identifying specimens from known or suspected HIV- and HBV-infected patients with a red label : b. Proper hand washing The appropriate dilution of bleach to use in lab...

c antigen is most common in blacks and whites; anti-c would be most common reactive : Rh antibodies show enhanced reactivity with enzyme pretreated cells. The M and Fya antigens are cleaved from enzyme pretreated cells and therefore there would be no reaction between enzyme pretreated cells and serum containing anti-M or antiFya. The incidence of the c antigen is 80% in whites and 96% in blacks. The incidence of the E antigen is 29% in whites and 22% in blacks. Increased reactivity with ...

Operations management : The systematic design, direction, and control of processes that transforms inputs into serves and products for internal, as well as external, customers Process : any activity or group of activities that takes one or more inputs, transforms them, and provides one or more outputs for its customers Operation : a group of resources performing all or part of one or more processes Supply Chain : An interrelated series of processes within and across firms that produce...

Theory of Constraints : 1) Identify the system's constraints 2) Decide how to exploit the system's constraints 3) Subordinate everything else to the above decision 4) Elevate the system's constraints 5) Do not allow inertia to cause a system constraint As ___________ decreases, Net Profit, Cash Flow, and Return on Investment increase. : inventory As ___________ increases, Net Profit, Cash Flow, and Return on Investment increase. : throughput 2 | P a g e As ________ decreases, Net ...

A Process View : Any activity or group of activities that takes one or more inputs, transforms them, and provides one or more outputs for its customers The Supply Chain View : Each activity in a process should add value to the preceding activities; waste and unnecessary cost should be eliminated. Supplier relationship process : A process that selects the suppliers of services, materials, and information and facilitates the timely and efficient flow of these items into the firm New se...

capacity : maximum rate of output of a process or a system capacity management consists of: : capacity planning constraint management capacity planning : long term econonomies/diseconomies of scale capacity timing and sizing strategies systematic approach constraint management : short term TOC 2 | P a g e identification/mgmt of bottlenecks product mix decisions using bottlenecks managing constraints in a line process output measures of capacity : high volume, standardized proc...
