Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The clinical laboratory scientist is responsible for ensuring the integrity of a specimen before analysis. Only he or she can judge whether the specimen is acceptable so that valid results can be obtained. Acceptable criteria include such things as type of specimen for the test ordered (e.g., blood, serum, urine); appropriate additive present (if needed) and amount of specimen relative to the additive; time interval since obtained; and presence or absence of hemolysis, lipemia, and other similar conditions. None of the other personnel named have the education and understanding to fully make that judgment.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Hematology is the study of blood cellstheir number, production, and morphology. Plasma and serum electrolytes and hormone levels are evaluated in various subdivisions of clinical chemistry, and bacteria are evaluated in clinical microbiology.
