A

Plain or Heparinized

25
Q

Specimens for pH are maintained in what environment

A

Ice anaerobically

26
Q

T or F

Increased temperature results to increased pH

A

F (decrease pH)

27
Q

T or F
Specimen are processed immediately

28
Q

T or F

Composition of blood plasma and serous fluid are not the same

A

F (ALMOST THE SAME)

29
Q

T or F

Serous fluid specimens should be left in room temperature

30
Q

form because of a systemic disorder that disrupts the balance in the regulation of fluid filtration and reabsorption

31
Q

These are effusions that form because of a systemic disorder that disrupts the balance in the regulation of fluid filtration and reabsorption

A
  • Transudates
  • Exudates
32
Q

Effusion

  • Changes in Hydrostatic Pressure
  • Increase (Imbalance) Pressure = Affect production and reabsorption
  • Underlying disease
  • CHF (Congestive heart failure) or
    Hypoproteinemia associated with Nephrotic syndrome
A

Transudates

33
Q

Effusion

  • Directly involve the membranes of cavity (No underlying disease)
  • Infections and malignancies
