1. A platelet count of 89000/uL using indirect method is estimated as slightly decreased.

Thrmobocytemia may be seen in myelodysplastic syndromes. – both false

2. Depleted platelet count will result to a decreased vessel fragility. Collagen deficiency will also
lead to same results. –both true

3. Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time is a test to monitor patients under heparin therapy. Unlike
PT, it is not affected by circulating anticoagulants. –1 st true,2nd not

4. An average of 15 platelets on 20 OI0 field is estimated as normal. Indirect platelet count is also
known as Toncantin Method. – 1st true second not

5. The WHO set standard for PT reagent is 1.0. Any values higher than this indicates an increased
sensitivity in clot detection. – second not,1 st true

6. The degree of clot retraction is directly proportional to the level of coagulation factors. It also
reflects the quality of platelets. – both false

7. Spreader slides used in blood film preparation that are pushed too quick results to a pale looking
film. Holes seen macroscopically on blood films may be due to grease on the slide. – 2 nd true, 1st not

8. It refers to the period of fibrin strand formation after the addition of calcium chloride on plasma
specimens. –incubation period

9. Citrate is used for complete blood counting in cases of observed platelet satellitism. This
phenomenon results to a decreased in platelet count. – both true

10. The time required for hemorrhage to stop after a standard puncture is known as. -
Bleeding time

11. Clot formation is Stafanini test is due to the negative charge of the glass tube. Normal retraction
is observed only after 24hours. –

12. Automated analyzers count a cell as platelet if the volume falls between 2-20FL. This method of
platelet counting is not affected by platelet satellitism. – 1 st true 2nd not

13. Standardized Ivy's Test is used to assess platelet's adhesiveness. It is considered as the best
screening test widely available for platelet's role in hemostasis. – both true

14. Aside from activated partial thromboplastin time, which coagulation test may be used in
monitoring patients under heparin therapy? – stypvenntime/ for me is activated clotting time
 15. The contractile ability of platelets prevents contraction of formed clots. Clot retraction is not
affected by fibrinolytic activity. – both false

16. In PT. timing starts at the addition of Cal, to the plasma. Dicumarol therapy is monitored by this
test. ISI indicates the sensitivity of the test's reagent. –only 1 st is false other not

17. It serves as an evidence of red cell extravasation from the blood vessels: -petechiae

18. Testing plasma specimen for coagulation studies should be maintained at 37C. Refrigeration of
plasma specimen will result to a prolongation of clotting times. Hemolysis also results to a prolonged
clotting time results. – only 1st true other not

19. Overinflation of BP cuff in capillary resistance test will result to increased presence of petechia.
Petechiae should be observed immediately after removing the BP cuff. – 1st true 2 nd not

20. What is dilution factor factor to be used in Brecher-Cronkite method of platelet counting? -

21. Merging petechia on the patient's arm after capillary resistance test is graded as 4+. Petechia and
purpura are both present in cases of bleeding. – 100

22. What is the standard depth of skin puncture? – 2-4mm

23. What is the specimen of choice for coagulation studies? – Platelet poor plasma

24. What is the contractile protein of platelets? – thrombostenin

25. It is comprised of thromboplastin and CaCl, which is used in caagulation testing? –prothrombin
time

26. In the negative pressure technique for capillary resistance, the cup is applied to the inner surface
of the arm for one minute. The resistance of the capillaries is expressed as the negative pressure
required to produce a macroscopic petechiae. –2 nd true 1st not

27. Bleeding time determines both congenital and acquired platelet disorders. It is tested among
patients with bleeding history even if platelet count is normal. –both true

28. It is the most ideal puncture site for Lee-White method of clotting time? – median cephalic
vein/di ko sure if tama dennis

29. Increased white cell fragments will cause a physiologic increase in platelet count. Platelet number
decreases during spleenectomy. –1st true, 2nd not
 30. In manual cell counting, diluting fluids are used to clean thoma pipets before specimen
aspiration. Each side of the hemacytometer should be charged with solutions using different pipets. -
