Serum vitamin B12 is highly unstable when exposed to light and can tolerate only a single absorbance reading before breaking down. Therefore, it is not possible to generate a standard curve for B12.
 
  When the concentration of B12 must be ascertained in a patient specimen, how should the technician go about doing so?
  A) Calculate the concentration of B12 directly from its absorbance in the solution using Beer's Law.
  B) Determine the Km and Vmax of B12 and apply those values to Ohm's Law to calculate the concentration of B12.
  C) Generate a standard curve using a more stable vitamin of similar chemical structure.
  D) Measure transmittance of B12 and create a standard curve using transmittance against concentration.

Question 2

Which of the following numbers contains an embedded zero?
 
  A) 0.00723
  B) 702.13
  C) 762.70
  D) 7430

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
