B. 180 mg/dl
C. 230 mg/dl
D. 250 mg/dl
E. 300 mg/dl
Answer: B
Explanation:
A level less than 200 mg/dl is desirable. Cholesterol is necessary in the body for several reasons. A level of 0 mg/dl
(A) would be detrimental to the body. Levels 200239 mg/dl are considered borderline high (C). Levels of 240
mg/dl and above are considered high (D and E).
Question: 455
Using sterile instruments to perform a breast biopsy is an exampleof
A. surgical asepsis
B. sterilization
C. medical asepsis
D. personal protective equipment
E. sanitization
Answer: A
Explanation:
Surgical asepsis is removing all organisms prior to entering the body. This is done by using sterile technique and
sterile instruments in a procedure. Medical asepsis (C) is disposing of organisms aer they leave the body, as in the
correct disposal of biohazardous waste. Sterilization (B) is the removal of all organisms from objects, not people.
Sanitization (E) is the removal of debris from objects. Personal protective equipment or PPE are items such as
gloves, masks, gowns, and eye protection (D).

A. bandaging
B. applying a dressing
C. splinting

Which one of the following is the correct angle for a needle to enterthe vein for venipuncture?
A. 5 degrees
B. 15 degrees
C. 30 degrees
D. 45 degrees
E. 90 degrees
Answer: B
Explanation:
A 15-degree angle is optimal for placing the needle in the center of the selected vein. A 5-degree angle (A) is
utilized when seating the needle during placement of a butterfly-winged infusion device. A 30-degree angle (C) is
too much for venipuncture. This angle may cause the needle to go through the vein by puncturing the posterior wall
resulting in a hematoma. A 45-degree angle (D) is utilized for subcutaneous injections. A 90-degree angle (E) is
utilized during an intramuscular injection.
Question: 459
Which of the following is a Gram-positive cocci that grows inclusters?
A. Staphylococcus aureus

Venereal disease research laboratory (VDRL) and rapid plasma regain (RPR) are both serological tests that detect
syphilis. Hepatitis (A) detection utilizes a serological test. Mononucleosis (B) testing detects the heterophil
antibody within 6 to 10 days of the disease. Rheumatoid arthritis (D) can be detected by testing for rheumatoid

B. The specific gravity of urine is part of the microscopic
C. The erythrocyte sedimentation rate is a means of identifying
D. Hematocrit is expressed in mm/sec.
E. Hemoglobin measures the oxygen-carrying capacity of blood
Answer: E
Explanation:
Hemoglobin is measured by weight and is expressed in grams per deciliter (g/dl). A spirometer (A) is a device used
to measure lung capacity by tracking the volume and flow of exhaled air. The specific gravity of urine (B) is part of
the physical examination of urine. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate, or ESR (C), measures the time it takes for red
blood cells to settle in a specimen and is expressed in millimeters per hour (mm/hr); elevated times are associated
with inflammatory processes. Hematocrit (D) is measured aer centrifuging a specimen and is expressed as a
percentage of red blood cells in a specimen; normal adult hematocrit values are 3655 percent.
