Laboratory Flashcards
Condenser
Which makes up the illumination system, direct light up through the side 
CLIA
Designed to ensure the accuracy precision reliability and timers of patient test results, regardless of which laboratory perform the testing
Qualitative laboratory results

Is either negative or positive
Quality control’s
Ensures analytical testing is error free and test results or a reliable
Balancing the centrifuge
So that tubes of equal size and containing equal volume, are directly across from one another in the rotor holders and buckets 
Labeling a patient specimen
Black water proof marker, make sure to write the time and the initial the specimen after the Veni puncture has been completed 
four diamonds on the chemical labs
Top diamond is red and indicates flammability. The diamond on the left is blue and indicate a health hazard. The bottom diamond is white and provides special health hazard. The diamond on the right is yellow. It indicates a reactivity. 
RICKETTSIAE
Are tiny unusual bacteria that far between the size ranges of typical pathogenic, bacteria, and viruses 
Spirochetes
Tightly coiled, spirilla are called spirochetes 
Helminth infection, diagnosing
Helminth eggs in stool samples using microscopic techniques
Sensitivity testing
Refers to the organism susceptibility to antibiotics
Scanning lens
The shortest objective has the lowest power 4x
Longest objective
Oil immersion 100x
Ocular magnification
Multiplying by 10
Staphylo
Staphylococcal infection
Pneumocystis
Contacts with animals most likely immune compromised patients common in aids patient
A gram-negative bacilli bacterium appearance 
Contains a thin layer of PG, which produces a pinkish red color when stained with Gram stain
Pinworms collection
Proportion are observed for the presence or absence of enterobius, or vermicular eggs
Medical assistant in lab results
Medical assistant is responsible for making sure that all outside laboratory reports has been received and given to provider 
Next steps with a negative rapid, strep test
Should be confirmed with a throat culture performed in microbiology laboratory
