People with diabetes mellitus are monitored using blood tests for glucose and
-phosphorus
-hemoglobin A1C
-uric acid
-bilirubin

Tests associated with pancreatitis are
-calcium and phosphorus
-blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and glucose
-bilirubin and ammonia
-amylase and lipase

Which test would a physician order on a patient with a suspected infection?
-Glucose
-Complete blood count (CBC)
-Cholesterol
-Antinuclear antibody (ANA)

A chemistry test to evaluate kidney function would be the
-complete blood count (CBC)
-glucose tolerance test (GTT)
-blood urea nitrogen (BUN)
-creatine kinase (CK) or creatine phosphokinase (CPK)

A test that monitors an antidepressant medication is
-creatine kinase (CK) or creatine phosphokinase (CPK)
-bloody urea nitrogen (BUN)
-lithium
-alanine transaminase (ALT)

An anemia would be detected by a
-glucose test
-blood culture
-urinalysis
-complete blood count

Sodium (Na), potassium (K), chloride (Cl), and carbon dioxide (CO₂) are components of the test called
-glucose tolerance
-electrolytes
-liver profile
-cardiac profile

Choose the hematology test that might be ordered to give additional information to the physician caring for a patient with anemia. The patient has already had hemoglobin and hematocrit tests done, separately and as part of a complete blood count.
-Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)
-Reticulocyte (Retic) count
-Eosinophil count
-Kleihauer-Betke

Choose the coagulation test that is used to monitor patients receiving Coumadin therapy
-Activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT)
-Bleeding time (BT)
-Prothrombin Time (PT)
-Platelet aggregation

Choose the chemistry test that is used to dtermine the acidity, alkalinity, oxygen, and carbon dioxide levels of the blood.
-Arterial blood gases (ABGs)
-Magnesium
-Electrolytes
-Calcium

Choose the serology or immunology test that is used to recognize infectious mononucleosis.
-Monospot
-Antistreptolysin O (ASO) titer
-Cold agglutinins
-Antinuclear antibody (ANA)
