Use the Potassium Laboratory Test Guide Below to answer the following Question: Laboratory Test Guide Test Name:  Potassium Specimen Type:  Blood Container:  Green top (Li Heparin tube), preferred  Alternate Tube: red, marble or gold top tube Specimen Processing:  Centrifuge specimen within 1 hour of collection and remove serum/plasma aliquot into a plastic sample container/cup Optimal Volume:  1 mL Minimum Volume:  0.2 mL Transportation/Storage:  Room Temperature Causes for Rejection:   Hemolysis, Lipemia, Bilirubinemia (icterus) Reference Range:  3.5 – 5.2 mmol/L Critical Values:  6.0 mmol/L   You are going to run a Potassium Assay on Blood Samples.  The Potassium Lab Test Guide above states causes for rejection include “hemolysis, lipemia, bilirubinemia”. State 2 other Specimen Quality Markers for Rejection that would cause a specimen to be rejected for this assay–in other words, other than the presence of interferents, why would a specimen be rejected for this assay?  State 2, if more than 2 answers are given then points will be deducted, regardless if they are correct.

What is the purpose of performing Recovery Studies and Interference Studies?

Clinical Specificity is defined as:

You have run a batch of total proteins using a standard line made up of three standards: 3 g/dL, 5 g/dL and 8 g/dL.  The k factor of the standard line obtained is 0.0523.  The absorbance obtained for W896 is 0.510.  What total protein concentration should be reported out for sample W896?  

It is reported that the greatest percentage of laboratory errors occurs during which laboratory testing phase?

Use the following information to answer the next two questions (information will be reposted/repeated for question 28).   You are validating a new assay to detect Influenza virus by a rapid antigen test.  You are comparing the results to culture results which is the gold standard and obtain the following results:   Positive for Influenza by Culture Negative for Influenza by Culture Positive for Influenza by rapid antigen test 500 50 Negative for Influenza by rapid antigen test 100 350   What is the Clinical Sensitivity of the new assay?

Which term refers to the quantification of the amount of light of a particular wavelength transmitted through a specimen?

A Medical Laboratory Scientist (MLS) used the following control values for a glucose assay: Mean = 110.5 mg/dL 1 Standard Deviation (SD) = 2.3 mg/dL When the MLS ran their control with their assay batch, a value of 118.5 mg/dL was resulted for the control.  Which of the following statements BEST describes the Westgard Rule violation?
