    The process of making incision in the Vein with a needle is known as

    • Blood Extraction

    • Blood Fission

    • Venipuncture

    • Venicollector

    Correct Answer
    A. Venipuncture
    Explanation
    Venipuncture is the correct answer because it refers to the process of making an incision in a vein with a needle. This procedure is commonly performed to collect blood samples for diagnostic testing or to administer intravenous medications or fluids. The term "Blood Extraction" is not specific enough and could refer to various methods of obtaining blood samples. "Blood Fission" is not a recognized medical term. "Venicollector" is not a term commonly used to describe this procedure.

    What is required to determine Pathogen in the blood ?

    • Pathology

    • Pathogen pills

    • Pathogen detector

    • Blood Culture

    Correct Answer
    A. Blood Culture
    Explanation
    To determine the presence of pathogens in the blood, a blood culture is required. A blood culture involves taking a sample of the patient's blood and placing it in a culture medium that promotes the growth of bacteria or fungi. This allows the pathogens to multiply and be identified through various laboratory tests. Blood culture is a standard diagnostic procedure used to identify and isolate the specific pathogen causing an infection in the bloodstream. It helps in guiding appropriate treatment decisions and monitoring the effectiveness of therapy.

    By what means could blood be collected from an infant?

    • Syringe and injection

    • Vacuette

    • Heel stick

    • Vacutainer

    Correct Answer
    A. Heel stick
    Explanation
    A heel stick is a common method used to collect blood from infants. It involves puncturing the baby's heel with a small lancet to obtain a blood sample. This method is preferred in infants because the heel is easily accessible, and the small amount of blood required for testing can be obtained without causing significant discomfort or harm to the baby.

    Pathogens living with Oxygen is known as

    • Aerobic

    • Anaerobic

    • White Blood Cell

    • Platelets

    Correct Answer
    A. Aerobic
    Explanation
    Pathogens that live with oxygen are known as aerobic. Aerobic organisms require oxygen to carry out their metabolic processes, such as respiration. These pathogens thrive in environments with oxygen and may cause various infections and diseases in humans and other organisms. They utilize oxygen to generate energy and survive in aerobic conditions.

    What is used to reduce pain and alleviate distress during Venipuncture in Pediatric Patients

    • Pathogen Fission

    • Codeine

    • Lidocaine iontophorosis

    • Pain killer

    Correct Answer
    A. Lidocaine iontophorosis
    Explanation
    Lidocaine iontophoresis is used to reduce pain and alleviate distress during venipuncture in pediatric patients. Iontophoresis is a technique that uses a small electrical current to deliver lidocaine, a local anesthetic, through the skin. This helps numb the area and reduce pain during the procedure. Lidocaine iontophoresis is a safe and effective method for managing pain in pediatric patients, making it a suitable option for venipuncture procedures.

    Pathogens living without Oxygen is known as

    • Aerobic

    • Anaerobic

    • Red blood cell

    • Platelets

    Correct Answer
    A. Anaerobic
    Explanation
    Anaerobic refers to organisms that can live and survive without the presence of oxygen. These organisms have adapted to environments with low or no oxygen levels and have developed alternative metabolic processes to generate energy. They can be found in various habitats, such as deep-sea hydrothermal vents, sewage treatment plants, and the human digestive system. Anaerobic bacteria are known to cause diseases such as tetanus, botulism, and gangrene.

    Where does blood commonly obtained at the superficial vein 

    • Lower Limb

    • Fore Limb

    • Upper Limb

    • Back Limb

    Correct Answer
    A. Upper Limb
    Explanation
    Blood is commonly obtained at the superficial vein in the upper limb. The upper limb includes the arm, forearm, and hand. These areas have several superficial veins, such as the cephalic vein, basilic vein, and median cubital vein, which are easily accessible for blood collection. The veins in the upper limb are often used for procedures like venipuncture and intravenous therapy due to their accessibility and low risk of complications.

    What technique did the early Phlebotomist used to collect blood ?

    • Leeches and Incision

    • Venipuncture and Lidocaine

    • Vacuette and Vacutainer

    • Heel stick and Syringe

    Correct Answer
    A. Leeches and Incision
    Explanation
    In the early days, phlebotomists used leeches and incisions to collect blood. Leeches were applied to the skin to create small wounds, and the blood was collected as the leeches fed. Incisions were made with a sharp instrument, allowing the blood to flow out and be collected. These techniques were used before the development of more modern and less invasive methods such as venipuncture and the use of tools like vacuette and vacutainer or a syringe for blood collection.
