-​Meningitis,pneumonia

Accepted Answer

The answer of ​Match the staining characteristics of certain bacteria...

Question 2

Match each term with its definition.
-Specialized test,performed only in a microbiology lab,that identifies the most appropriate antibiotic to be used as well as the lowest dose that is effective in combating an infection

Accepted Answer

The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) is the lowest concentration of an antibiotic that will inhibit the visible growth of a microorganism after overnight incubation, and it is a specialized test used in microbiology labs to determine the most appropriate antibiotic and its lowest effective dose to combat an infection.

Question 3

​Each laboratory has its own reporting system.Match the guidelines for normal values to the description provided.Note: Answers may be used more than once.
-​Indicates the disease includes cholesterol,tyrosine,cystine,leukocine,and sulfa

Accepted Answer

The substances listed (cholesterol, tyrosine, cystine, leukocine, and sulfa) are types of crystals that can be found in urine. Their presence can indicate various diseases or conditions.

Question 4

​Each laboratory has its own reporting system.Match the guidelines for normal values to the description provided.Note: Answers may be used more than once.
-​Indicative of pathologic state in men

Accepted Answer

Spermatozoa are only found in men, so their presence in a urine sample is indicative of a pathologic state.

Question 5

Match each term with its definition.
-The ethanol or acetone used with the staining technique

Accepted Answer

The decolorizer in staining techniques, such as the Gram stain, is typically ethanol or acetone. Its role is to remove the primary dye from certain types of cells (e.g., Gram-negative bacteria) after they have been stained, allowing them to be counterstained with a different color, thereby differentiating them from other types of cells (e.g., Gram-positive bacteria).

Question 6

​Each laboratory has its own reporting system.Match the guidelines for normal values to the description provided.Note: Answers may be used more than once.
-​Females,5 to 10/hpf (unless on menstrual period)

Accepted Answer

The guideline for normal values of 5 to 10/hpf for females, unless on a menstrual period, corresponds to RBCs (red blood cells). During menstruation, the presence of RBCs can be higher due to menstrual blood contamination.

Question 7

​Each laboratory has its own reporting system.Match the guidelines for normal values to the description provided.Note: Answers may be used more than once.
-​Reported as finely granular,coarsely granular,WBC casts,RBC casts,mixed cell casts,waxy,or fatty casts;indicative of a serious kidney (renal)problem and require immediate attention by the health care provider

Accepted Answer

Casts in the urine, especially those described as finely granular, coarsely granular, WBC casts, RBC casts, mixed cell casts, waxy, or fatty casts, are indicative of renal problems. They are elements found in urine sediment that form in the distal convoluted tubule or collecting duct and are associated with various kidney diseases, requiring immediate medical attention.

Question 8

Match each term with its definition.
-Red stain

Accepted Answer

Safranin is used as a counterstain in some staining protocols, including the Gram stain, where it imparts a red or pink color to cells that have been decolorized after the application of the primary dye, crystal violet. This typically results in Gram-negative bacteria appearing red or pink under the microscope.

Question 9

​Each laboratory has its own reporting system.Match the guidelines for normal values to the description provided.Note: Answers may be used more than once.
-​Males,0 to 10/hpf

Accepted Answer

WBCs (White Blood Cells) in a urine sample are typically reported in the range of 0 to 10 per high power field (hpf) for males, which is considered normal. This range helps in identifying infections or inflammations.

Question 10

​Each laboratory has its own reporting system.Match the guidelines for normal values to the description provided.Note: Answers may be used more than once.
-​Females,10 to 20/hpf

Accepted Answer

The normal range for white blood cells (WBCs) in females is typically 10 to 20 per high power field (hpf) in urine analysis.

Question 11

​Each laboratory has its own reporting system.Match the guidelines for normal values to the description provided.Note: Answers may be used more than once.
-​Presence of this budding indicates infection with Candida albicans

Accepted Answer

The presence of budding in a laboratory sample indicates an infection with Candida albicans, which is a type of yeast. Therefore, the correct match is yeast (D).

Question 12

​Each laboratory has its own reporting system.Match the guidelines for normal values to the description provided.Note: Answers may be used more than once.
-​Should not be reported in females except in rape cases and then only under legal authority because it could be perceived as an invasion of privacy

Accepted Answer

Spermatozoa should not be reported in females except in rape cases and then only under legal authority because reporting them could be perceived as an invasion of privacy. This is due to the sensitive nature of finding spermatozoa in female specimens, which could have legal and personal privacy implications.

Question 13

​Each laboratory has its own reporting system.Match the guidelines for normal values to the description provided.Note: Answers may be used more than once.
-​Calcium oxalate crystals might appear in individuals with high caffeine intake

Accepted Answer

Calcium oxalate crystals are a type of crystal that can appear in urine. The presence of these crystals might be influenced by dietary factors, including high caffeine intake, rather than being associated with white blood cells (WBCs), red blood cells (RBCs), spermatozoa, yeast, or casts.

Question 14

​Match the staining characteristics of certain bacteria and the diseases they cause.Note: Answers may be used more than once.
-​Causes whooping cough

Accepted Answer

The bacterium that causes whooping cough, Bordetella pertussis, stains as Gram-negative.

Question 15

Match each term with its definition.
-Sea-green media used in culturing for tuberculosis

Accepted Answer

Lowenstein-Jensen (L-J) slant is the correct match for the term "sea-green media used in culturing for tuberculosis." This medium is specifically designed for the growth and isolation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Question 16

​Match the staining characteristics of certain bacteria and the diseases they cause.Note: Answers may be used more than once.
-​Bordetella pertussis

Accepted Answer

Bordetella pertussis, the bacterium that causes whooping cough, is a Gram-negative bacterium. This means it does not retain the crystal violet stain used in the Gram staining procedure, instead taking up the counterstain (usually safranin) and appearing pink or red under a microscope.

Question 17

Match each term with its definition.
-Organism found in the intestinal tract that is commonly a source of infection in the urinary tract due to improper wiping of the anus

Accepted Answer

Gram-negative bacteria, which include many types of bacteria found in the intestinal tract, are a common source of urinary tract infections, often due to contamination from improper wiping.

Question 18

​Match the staining characteristics of certain bacteria and the diseases they cause.Note: Answers may be used more than once.
-​Causes tetanus (lockjaw)

Accepted Answer

Clostridium tetani, the bacterium that causes tetanus (lockjaw), is a Gram-positive organism. This means it retains the crystal violet stain used in the Gram staining procedure, appearing blue or violet under a microscope.

Question 19

​Match the staining characteristics of certain bacteria and the diseases they cause.Note: Answers may be used more than once.
-​Causes leprosy

Accepted Answer

Mycobacterium leprae, the bacterium that causes leprosy, does not consistently stain as either Gram-positive or Gram-negative and is considered Gram-variable. It is better identified using acid-fast staining techniques.
