CSMLS MLA Certification Exam Practice Tests: Prepare for Success! This is the third unofficial book of practice questions for the Canadian Society for Medical Laboratory Science (CSMLS) Medical Laboratory Assistant (MLA) exam. With a further 180 multiple-choice questions to practice with, this book comprehensively covers all major topics you'll encounter on the CSMLS MLA exam, including:
- Safe Work Practices
- Analytical Procedures
- Quality Management
- Critical Thinking
- And more!
This is the third book in our series. For additional books in the series, visit amazon.ca/dp/B093TG1FDR. KEY FEATURES
Our questions are modeled after the real CSMLS MLA exam, encompassing eight core competency areas:
Which of these is a good laboratory safety rule?
a. Leave a machine switched on when performing repairs
b. Use one hand to carry testing samples, not two
c. Wait until the end of the shift to clean up spills
d. Wear safety goggles when working with strong chemicals Answer: d. Wear safety goggles when working with strong chemicals

b. Within 1 hour
c. 2 hours after the last meal
d. Within 4 hours Answer: a. Immediately
Explanation: All requisitions marked stat should be performed immediately. 3) PRE-ANALYTICAL PROCEDURES
What colour is the stopper of an SPS tube?
a. Green
b. Lavender
c. Pink
d. Yellow Answer: d. Yellow
Explanation: SPS tubes contain sodium polyanethol sulfonate as an anticoagulant. They have yellow tops and are used for blood culture tests. 4) REAGENT PREPARATION
What is the dilution factor 1/5 expressed as a dilution ratio?
a. 1:4
b. 1:5
c. 1:6
d. 5:1 Answer: a. 1:4
Explanation: The dilution ratio 1:4 and the dilution factor 1/5 are different ways of expressing the same concept.
- 1:4 means a ratio of 1 part solute to 4 parts solvent.
- 1/5 means the final volume of the solution is 5 times the volume of the solute. Adding 4 parts of solvent to 1 part of solute creates a 1/5 dilution.
Therefore, a 1/5 dilution factor and a 1:4 dilution ratio both create a solution with 1 part solute to 4 parts solvent. 5) COMMUNICATION AND INTERACTION
