Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Decisions regarding purchase of new equipment for the clinical laboratory should involve all those individuals listed. It also should be made in conjunction with the medical staff so that tests that are the most appropriate for the clinical situations encountered by the specific clinical laboratory are available.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The PFA 100 Platelet Function Analyzer assesses platelet dysfunction. Aspirin and VWD both negatively affect platelet function, although by entirely different mechanisms. Aspirin acetylates cyclooxygenase, thus preventing the eventual production of thromboxane A2, an important platelet agonist. In type 1 VWD, von Willebrand factor (VWF) is decreased and therefore platelet adhesion is abnormal. The bleeding time is not a reliable test for platelet function, although it can be abnormal (prolonged).

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.
