Answer to Question 1

Answer: Quantification of reticulocytes using manual methods is subject to interobserver variability (during analysis) as well as preanalytical error. Flow cytometry provides a more sensitive and specific means of identifying reticulocytes by identifying the amount of RNA present. It is more accurate because many more cells are counted than in manual methods.

Correct Answer: A
