22
Q

Type of blood specimen:

With anticoagulant, requires immediate mixing following blood collection

A

Whole blood

23
Q

Type of blood specimen:

Clear yellow supernatant on top upon settling of whole blood

A

Plasma

24
Q

Type of blood specimen:

Obtained from a tube without anticoagulant

A

Serum

25
Q

Which is clearer, plasma or serum?

A

5 minutes

30
Q

In what test is gel activator discouraged due to its false absorption?

A

Therapeutic drug monitoring (absorbs drugs)

31
Q

32
Q

T/F: collection above the IV site is allowed

A

F (should be below)

33

A

F (serum samples only)

45
Q

Rapid swelling at or near the venipuncture site due to blood leaking into the tissues

A

Hematoma

46
Q

Anemia as a result of treatment
