Question 4 of 22

1

Which lab test is useful in distinguishing between microcytosis anemia and hypochromia anemia?

Select one of the following:

  • MCV

  • Reticulocyte count

  • MCHC

Explanation

Question 5 of 22

1

Select from the dropdown lists to complete the text.

When classifying anemia, first you look at the ( MCH, MCV ) test. If the result is high, then you have a ( macrocytic, normocytic, microcytic ) anemia and need to look at the ( Reticulocyte count, Vitamin B12 and folate levels, Serum ferritin levels ) to determine if the anemia is ( Vitamin B12 deficiency, Anemia of Chronic Disease ) or ( Folic acid deficiency, Iron-deficiency anemia ).

Explanation

Question 6 of 22

1

Select one of the following:

  • True
  • False

Explanation

Select one of the following:

  • True
  • False

Explanation

Question 8 of 22

1

Which lab test is the best indicator of iron deficiency or iron overload?

Select one of the following:

  • TIBC

  • Serum iron level

  • Ferritin

  • % Transferrin Saturation

Explanation

Question 9 of 22

1

Iron is best absorbed on an empty stomach.

Select one of the following:

  • True
  • False

Explanation

Question 10 of 22

1

Body does not store much vitamin B12 so it is easy and quick to become vitamin B12 deficient.

Select one of the following:

  • True
  • False

Explanation

Question 11 of 22

1

Which of the following lab values are low in vitamin B12 deficiency?

Select one or more of the following:

  • MCV

Select one of the following:

  • 1 week

  • 2 months

  • 4 months

  • 1 year

Explanation

Question 15 of 22

1

Which of the following is a hemoglobin variant that causes manifestations of sickle cell disease when paired with HbS but does not when paired with itself?

Select one of the following:

  • HbA

  • HbC

  • HbS

  • HbF

Explanation

Question 16 of 22

1

At what age are people screened for sickle cell anemia

Select one of the following:

  • Before 18 years old

  • Before 4 years old

  • Before 2 years old

  • Before 2 months old

Explanation

Question 17 of 22

1

How does hydroxyurea work?

Select one of the following:

  • Destroys HbS

  • Stimulates production of HbF. HbF decreases polymer formation of HbS due to its high oxygen affinity

  • Stimulates production of HbF. HbF decreases polymer formation of HbS due to its low oxygen affinity.

  • Increases levels of HbA so there is a lower percentage of HbS in circulation

Explanation

Question 18 of 22

1

What should always be given with hydroyurea?

Select one or more of the following:

  • Vitamin B12

  • Folic acid

  • Iron
