It is the process that seeks to minimize risks and prevent hazards from leaving the laboratory space and causing harm to the community.

This addresses facility and equipment adaptation to allow safe and healthy working conditions at the laboratory site.

Pre-examination phase includes:

It is considered the most important laboratory resource.

This is essential in order to protect the lives of employees and patients, to protect laboratory equipment and facilities, and protect the laboratory environment as well.

Neglecting laboratory safety is very costly. Secondary effects of a laboratory accident includes all of the following except?

All of the following are duties of a laboratory director in maintaining safety in the laboratory except?

All of the following are duties of a quality manager/safety officer except?

All are true about work benches in the laboratory except?

Policies should be put in place that outline the safety practices to be followed in the laboratory. Standard laboratory safety practices includes all of the following except?

Laboratory glassware and plasticwares should be disposed on puncture-resistant, leak-proof sharps container since they can pose threats to laboratory personnel.

It serves as a technical bulletin for chemicals that provide detailed hazard and precautionary information of every chemicals in the laboratory.

Chemicals can enter the human body via the following except?

It serves as the main sources of contamination within diagnostic laboratories due to activities that concern several identification of pathogens.

To prevent exposure to droplets, a lab personnel should wear?

This is compulsory in physical containment level 3 laboratories or in specific instances such as sample collection when highly dangerous pathogens is

involved, such as suspected cases of H5N1 avian influenza or SARS.

When cleaning laboratory spills caused by caustic fluids, it is recommended to use ____________ as absorbent pads.

For spills containing large amounts of organic material,______ should be used to clean and decontaminate the surface.

Fire extinguishers in the laboratory shall be inspected?

The design of laboratory work areas should ensure proper ventilation and surfaces that can be cleaned and disinfected.

This document establishes policy and describes standard procedures for handling safety and emergency issues.

Benefits of a good equipment management program includes all of the following except?

Things to consider when collecting and acquiring equipment.

Things to consider when installing new equipment.

This is a very important process that can help calculate how much is required of any particular item for a given period of time, and it is an essential part of a successful inventory management program.

Advantages of a computerized inventory management system except?

Sample management is a part of ?

Defined by ISO as one or more parts taken from a system and intended to provide information on the system.

It is a sample taken from the human body.

The laboratory should keep an inventory log of all equipment in the laboratory. The log should be updated with information on new equipment. Documentation for old retired equipment is not necessary unless required by standards.

Equipment logbook shall contain the following information except?

Establishing a purchasing and inventory management program will ensure that:

This quantification technique allows the laboratory to study and take into account the actual number of episodes, illnesses and health problems that require laboratory testing. This helps them accurately estimate the needed reagents and supplies for laboratory testing.

On this process, patients are instructed on the timing (e.g fasting issues) that pertains to blood glucose, hormones , drug analysis etc.

This process includes immediate refrigeration, protection from light or prompt delivery to the laboratory.

Handle all samples as if they are infectious.

All potentially hazardous material requires triple packaging.

The goal of Quality Control is to detect, evaluate, nd correct errors due to test system failure, environmental conditions or operator performance, before patient

results are reported.

These substances contain an established amount of the substance being tested and are tested at the same time and in the same way as patient samples to validate the reliability of the test system and evaluate the operator’s performance and environmental conditions that might impact results.

These are solutions with a specified defined concentration that are used to set or calibrate an instrument, kit, or system before testing is begun.

Controls are usually available in "high", "normal" and "low" ranges.

All are measures of central tendency except?

It is defined as the closeness of a measurement to its true value.

It is defined as the amount of variation in the measurements.

It is the difference between the expectation of a test result and an accepted reference method.

It occurs when an abrupt change is followed by six or more

consecutive QC results that fall on one side of the mean.

It occurs when values gradually, but continually, move in one direction over six or more analytical runs.

This type of examination measure the presence or absence of a substance, or evaluate cellular characteristics such as morphology.

Built-in controls are those that are integrated into the

design of a test system such as a test kit device. Usually, the device is marked with designated areas where coloured lines, bars or dots should appear to indicate success or failure of positive and negative controls, and these controls are performed automatically with each test.

QC in microbiology requires use of dead/inactivated control organisms with predictable reactions to verify that stains, reagents and media are working correctly.

Assessments conducted by groups or agencies from outside the laboratories are called?

Type of assessment that laboratories can utilize

where staff working in one area of the laboratory conduct assessments on another area of the same laboratory.

It is the most commonly employed type of External Quality Assessment program that allows external provider sends unknown samples for testing to a set of laboratories, and the results of all laboratories are analyzed, compared and reported to the laboratories.

It is a document that provides rules, guidelines or characteristics for activities or their results. It covers such documents as standards, technical specifications, codes of practice and regulations.

It is any standard that is mandated by a governmental agency or authoritative body.

It is the procedure by which an independent body gives written assurance that a product, process or service conforms to specific requirements

It is the procedure by which an authoritative body gives formal recognition that a body or person is competent to carry out specific tasks.

It is the granting of ability to practice, usually provided by a local governmental agency. Licensure is usually based on demonstrated knowledge, training and skills

Management must establish appropriate personnel qualifications for all positions in the laboratory.

It is defined as the application of knowledge, skills and behaviors used in performing specific job tasks.

It is required when competency assessment reveals the need for improving an employee’s knowledge and skills.

It provides an opportunity for staff to acquire skills outside their own discipline. This allows for flexibility in shifting or reassigning personnel whenever needed; this may occur in crisis situations or with absences of staff due to illness or vacation.

This enables employees to be up to-date in a particular area of knowledge or skills.

Good customer service is capable to provide: valuable information for best patient car, valuable information to improve surveillance and other public health actions and gives professional image for the laboratory.

This are documents that contain written step-by-step instructions that laboratory staff should meticulously follow when performing a procedure.
