Components of an information system consist of all of the following except:
Hardware
Software
Validation
People
Validation
A computer system includes three major components: hardware, software, and people.
Hardware components are the physical pieces of equipment.
Software is a set of instructions written in computer language that tells the computer how to operate and manipulate the data.
The people interface with the hardware to enter the data that are manipulated by the software. Just as there are many different kinds of people who enter data, so there are many different kinds of hardware and software.
An example of INTERFACE software functionality is:
The entry of blood components into the blood bank database
The transmission of patient information from the HIS into the blood bank system
The printing of a workload report
Preventing access to the system by an unauthorized
The transmission of patient information from the HIS into the blood bank system
User passwords should be:
Shared with others
Kept confidential
Posted at each terminal
Never changed
Kept confidential
The four essential functions of a manager are:
Staffing, decision making, cost analysis, evaluating
Directing, leading, forecasting, implementing
Planning, organizing, directing, controlling
Innovating, designing, coordinating, problem-solving
Planning, organizing, directing, controlling
While managing may involve all of the functions listed, the four core processes for all managers are planning, organizing, directing, and controlling.
Planning includes formulating of goals and objectives, organizing the tasks, and establishing schedules.
Organizing includes establishing effective communication, relationships, job descriptions, and training.
Directing involves oversight of the various steps and stages of the plan, including coordination and leadership.
Controlling involves evaluating resource utilization and outcomes, managing costs, and modifying the process to improve quality.
Which order of events should be followed at the conclusion of a laboratory worker’s shift in order to prevent the spread of bloodborne pathogens?
Remove gloves, disinfect area, wash hands, remove lab coat
Disinfect area, remove gloves, remove lab coat, wash hands
Disinfect area, remove gloves, wash hands, remove lab coat
Remove gloves, wash hands, remove lab coat, disinfect area
Disinfect area, remove gloves, remove lab coat, wash hands
According to the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Rule of 1992, gloves and lab coats are to be removed after disinfection of the work area.
The material safety data sheets (MSDSs) for hazardous chemicals address which of the following conditions?
Physical characteristics of the chemical
Safe handling and storage of the chemical
Specific health hazards associated with the chemical
All of these
All of these
The MSDS documents describe the chemical and physical characteristics, safe handling and storage, and potential health hazards of reagents used in the laboratory. These documents must be located in an easily accessible place so that all employees have access to them. They should be reviewed at least once per year during safety in service training.
The OSHA hazard communication standard, the “RIGHT-TO-KNOW” rule, is designed:
To avoid lawsuits
To protect laboratory staff
To protect patients
To establish safety standards
To protect laboratory staff
Legislation on chemical hazard precautions, such as state “right-to-know” laws, and OSHA document 29 CFR 1910 set the standards for chemical hazard communication (HAZCOM) and determine the types of documents that must be on file in a laboratory.
“Six sigma” is a method used in industry and business as well as the clinical laboratory in order to:
Allow for improved performance
Prevent and remove defects in production
Improve customer satisfaction
All of these
All of these
Six sigma management is a method for measuring the efficiency of a process such as mass production, and it is applied in the clinical laboratory to reduce the frequency of test errors.
The process consists of five steps: define, measure, analyze, improve, and control.
The term “six sigma” denotes a process so precise that six times the standard deviation still results in a useful product (laboratory test result that is within acceptable limits for total allowable error).
DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION about the patient in the information database, EXCEPT:
Name and gender
Age and birth date (DOB)
Referring or attending physician
Marital status
Marital status
SITUATION: A medical laboratory science student in training accidentally splashed a few drops of an extraction reagent from an enzyme immunoassay kit for group A Streptococcus into her right eye, and felt an immediate burning sensation. What should she do first?
Locate the MSDS sheet for the EIA test kit
Go directly to the emergency department for treatment
Go to the eye-wash station and rinse the eye thoroughly with water
Report directly to her immediate supervisor
Go to the eye-wash station and rinse the eye thoroughly with water
When a chemical compound comes into contact with the skin or eyes, the first course of action is to dilute the chemical by flooding it with a large volume of water.
