Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The number of cells, determined when the cell count is done on the body fluid, determines how much fluid should be used in making the cytocentrifuge preparation. This preparation concentrates the cells so that a representative number of them can be morphologically evaluated.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Meningitis can be either bacterial or viral. When it is viral, lymphocytes respond and some of them will be reactive. In bacterial meningitis, neutrophils would predominate.
