Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A stained blood smear is examined to determine the shape of individual red blood cells, which is known as red blood cell morphology.

Answer: E 
 Coombs test is used to detect the presence of antibodies that attack red blood cells, leading to conditions such as hemolytic anemia.

Answer: G 
 Hematocrit measures the proportion of red blood cells in blood and is expressed as a percentage.

Answer: I 
 Platelet count measures the number of platelets in a given volume of blood and is used to diagnose and monitor conditions such as bleeding disorders and thrombocytopenia.

Answer: K 
 WBC differential (count) is used to examine the different types of white blood cells present in a sample of blood, helping to diagnose and monitor conditions such as infections, leukemia, and autoimmune disorders.
