With 400 multiple-choice questions, this book covers all of the major topics you can expect to encounter on the ASCP PBT exam, including the circulatory system, specimen collection, point-of-care testing, non-blood specimens, and laboratory operations. Each question is designed to closely resemble the questions you'll encounter on the exam so you can get a feel for the exam format. Answers are accompanied by explanations, allowing you to understand the reasoning behind them. In addition to the practice questions, this book includes valuable information about the exam to help you approach the exam with confidence. This book is a must-have resource for anyone looking to pass the ASCP PBT exam! SAMPLE QUESTIONS To give you a preview, here are six sample questions from the book. 1) CIRCULATORY SYSTEM White blood cells are also known as: a. erythrocytes b. leukocytes c. lipocytes d. osteocytes 2) SPECIMEN COLLECTION Which specimen request has the highest priority? a. ASAP b. Fasting c. Post-op d. Stat 3) SPECIMEN HANDLING, TRANSPORT, AND PROCESSING Sodium fluoride preserves: a. cellulite b. cellulose c. glucose d. glycerine 4) WAIVED AND POINT-OF-CARE-TESTING Which of these biomarkers can urine refractometers measure? a. Urine color b. Urine haemoglobin concentration c. Urine osmolality d. Urine specific gravity 5) NON-BLOOD SPECIMENS Which of these fluids is clear and colourless? a. Cerebrospinal fluid b. Lymph fluid c. Semen d. Serum 6) LABORATORY OPERATIONS A technique that has demonstrated its superiority over other techniques over time is known as the: a. benchmark b. best practice c. case model d. Pareto principle Answers 1) b. leukocytes White blood cells are called leukocytes. The word leukocyte comes from leuko meaning 'white' and cyte meaning 'cell'.

It inhibits glycolysis (the process by which cells break down glucose), ensuring the measured glucose levels are accurate. 4) d. Urine specific gravity Urine refractometers can measure the specific gravity, refraction index, and serum content (the amount of serum) of urine. 5) a. Cerebrospinal fluid Normal cerebrospinal fluid is clear and colourless, like water. 6) b. best practice Best practices are established techniques that consistently deliver better results than alternatives.
