Features:600 practice questions, including image-based questions and case studies, aligned with the official MT(AAB) exam guidelinesAnswers and explanationsInformation about the MT(AAB) examAn index for easy referenceContent tailored to American standards, including American units and reference rangesSample questionsTo give you an idea of what to expect, here are six sample questions from the book:1) BASIC KNOWLEDGEWhich glassware is used to measure 24-hour urine volumes?a.

Beakerb. Erlenmeyer flaskc.

Graduated cylinderd. Graduated pipetteAnswer: c) Graduated cylinderGraduated cylinders are used to measure 24-hour urine volumes because they are designed to make accurate measurements of large volumes of liquids.

They typically come in three sizes (500 mL, 1000 mL, and 2000 mL) and can measure in 5 mL, 10 mL or 20 mL increments. 2) CHEMISTRYWhich of these increases in a urine specimen left at room temperature?a.

Bilirubinb. Ketonesc.

Leukocytesd. NitritesAnswer: d) NitritesNitrites will increase in urine left at room temperature due to bacterial production.

3) MICROBIOLOGYAfter Gram staining, what colour are gram-negative organisms?a. Greenb.

Light bluec. Purple or brownd.

Red or pinkAnswer: d) Red or pinkIn Gram staining, a primary stain stains gram-positive organisms purple and a counterstain stains the gram-negative organisms red or pink. You can remember this by "keeping your P's together": Purple is Positive.

4) HEMATOLOGYWhich anticoagulant is used for red blood cell counts?a. EDTAb.

Heparinc. Sodium citrated.

Sodium fluorideAnswer: a) EDTAEDTA is the best anticoagulant for preserving the morphology of blood cells. For this reason, red blood cell counts are collected in a tube containing EDTA.

5) IMMUNOLOGYWhich leukocytes are nongranular?a. Basophils and mast cellsb.

Basophils and monocytesc. Lymphocytes and monocytesd.

Neutrophils and eosinophilsAnswer: c) Lymphocytes and monocytesThe nongranular leukocytes are lymphocytes and monocytes. These leukocytes have no obvious granules in their cytoplasm.

The granular leukocytes are neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, and mast cells. 6) IMMUNOHEMATOLOGYWhich of these tests can detect heterophile antibodies?a.

ABO typingb. Indirect antiglobulin testc.

Karyotype testd. Mononucleosis testAnswer: d) Mononucleosis testThe mononucleosis test detects heterophile antibodies produced in response to an Epstein–Barr virus infection, the virus that causes mononucleosis.
