{"product_id":"ascp-mlt-exam-practice-questions","title":"ASCP MLT Exam: Practice Questions","description":"Prepare for the ASCP BOC Medical Laboratory Technician (MLT) exam with this unofficial book of practice questions.\n\nThis book contains:\n• 400 multiple-choice questions\n• Information about the ASCP MLT exam. You'll learn what topics to study, what to bring on exam day, and how to get your exam results.\n\nThe questions are divided into the seven content areas of the exam:\n\n1. Blood banking\n2. Urinalysis and other body fluids\n3. Chemistry\n4. Hematology\n5. Immunology\n6. Microbiology\n7. Laboratory operations\n\nAnswers are found at the end of each content area, along with an explanation for trickier questions.\n\nAnd if you're taking the ASCP MLS exam, this book will be useful since the MLT and MLS exams are similar. This book contains different questions from the \"ASCP MLS Exam: Practice Questions\" book.\n\nSAMPLE QUESTIONS\nTo give you a preview, here are seven sample questions from the book:\n\n1) BLOOD BANKING\nAt which temperature do warm antibodies react with red blood cells?\na. 15°C\nb. 21°C\nc. 37°C\nd. 55°C\n\n2) URINALYSIS AND OTHER BODY FLUIDS\nWhat is nocturia?\na. Black urine\nb. Blood in the urine\nc. Difficulty urinating\nd. Excessive urination at night\n\n3) CHEMISTRY\nWhich term means the conversion of glycogen to glucose?\na. Gluconeogenesis\nb. Glycogenesis\nc. Glycogenolysis\nd. Glycolysis\n\n4) HEMATOLOGY\nWhat word means the production of lymphocytes?\na. Lymphedema\nb. Lymphocytopenia\nc. Lymphoid\nd. Lymphopoiesis\n\n5) IMMUNOLOGY\nWhich of these diseases is a viral infection of the liver?\na. Hepatitis B\nb. HIV\nc. Salmonellosis\nd. Syphilis\n\n6) MICROBIOLOGY\nWhich of these could cause stain precipitation?\na. Excessive humidity in the air\nb. Excessive rinsing after applying the stain\nc. Insufficient staining time\nd. Use of aged staining solutions\n\n7) LABORATORY OPERATIONS\nA lab assistant makes a 1\/6 dilution of serum in water. The assistant then performs a glucose test on the diluted serum. The result is 72 mg\/dL. What result should the lab assistant report to the doctor?\na. 12 mg\/dL\nb. 72 mg\/dL\nc. 432 mg\/dL\nd. 720 mg\/dL\n\nAnswers\n1) c. 37°C\nWarm antibodies are only active at body temperature (37°C).\n\n2) d. Excessive urination at night\nNocturia is the condition of waking up during the night to urinate. It can disrupt sleep and is often a symptom of underlying health issues such as diabetes, heart failure, or urinary tract infections.\n\n3) c. Glycogenolysis\nGlycogenolysis is the breakdown of glycogen into glucose. Lysis means 'to break down'.\n\n4) d. Lymphopoiesis\nThe suffix -poiesis means 'production', as in lymphopoiesis, the production of lymphocytes.\n\n5) a. Hepatitis B\nOf the possible answers, only hepatitis B is a viral infection of the liver.\n\n6) d. Use of aged staining solutions\nStain precipitation is the presence of unwanted dots, specks, or crystals on a slide, caused by particles from the staining solution. Precipitation can occur because the staining procedure was too long, the rinsing was insufficient, or because the staining solution is old. Over time, staining solutions can deteriorate, leading to the formation of insoluble particles.\n\n7) c. 432 mg\/dL\nThe serum has been diluted by a factor of 6. Therefore, you need to multiply the glucose result by 6 to get the true result: 72 × 6 = 432.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B095LH5J3B\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.B095LH5J3B.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Hewlett-Powell, Robin\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
