Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Platelet reference values are approximately 8 to 88 fL, and the MPV increases slightly as the sample sits in the anticoagulant EDTA.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Whole blood calibrators are commercially available and are used for calibration of instruments. However, inherent problems exist with their use because these are stabilized and preserved cell suspensions that can deteriorate, and the calibration must be validated before the instrument is used for patient specimen analysis.
