Answer to Question 1

Answer: In an attempt to reach a cost-effective and efficient diagnosis, a physician's investigation into a hematologic or hemostatic problem begins with screening tests. The results of these tests provide the clues to the diagnosis. Depending on the results of screening tests, more specific tests (reflex tests) can be ordered. The laboratory professional can aid the physician in choosing the appropriate reflex tests that will narrow the scope for the patient diagnosis.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Hemoglobin is higher in infants and children than in adults. WBC counts are higher in infants than in children and adults. Differential results are different in children (inverted ratio of lymphs: neutrophils) than in infants and adults.
