Total questions: 10
Worksheet time: 5mins
Surya is a medical technician analyzing a sample of joint (synovial) fluid from a patient. He needs to determine the quality of the fluid by evaluating its color and clarity, clot formation, viscosity, and mucin. Which test category should he use for this evaluation?
Microscopic analysis
Macroscopic analysis
Chemical analysis
Serological analysis
During a recent medical examination, a patient presented with low synovial fluid viscosity, with a string length measured under 4 cm. The physician is trying to determine which conditions are most commonly associated with this finding.
Acute and septic inflammatory states
Chronic non-inflammatory effusions
Traumatic arthritis only
Hemorrhagic villonodular synovitis
During a routine check-up, Dr. Arif performs a mucin clot test on his patient, Rudi. After completing the test, he instructs Rudi on when to read the results. When should the mucin clot test result be read, based on the described steps?
Immediately only
After 2 hours only
Immediately and again after 2 hours
After 24 hours
During a medical examination, Dr. Adi is analyzing joint fluid samples from patients with different conditions. He encounters a sample from a patient who has experienced significant bleeding in the joint area. Dr. Adi needs to classify the leukocyte count of this hemorrhagic group. Which leukocyte count classification corresponds to this group?
Less than 200/mm³
200–500/mm³
200–10,000/mm³
20,000–200,000/mm³
During a routine check-up, Dr. Smith examines the joint fluid of a patient experiencing swelling and pain. He decides to perform microscopy to analyze the differential count of neutrophils/PMN. What threshold of neutrophils/PMN defines a normal differential count?
Less than 25%
25–50%
More than 50%
Exactly 25%
