Question

which of the following medical terms describes a complete detailed record of the findings in a thorough examination of the blood?

a) differential
b) venipuncture
c) hemogram
d) cbc

Explanation:

Analyze the medical terms and definitions

• Differential: A test that measures the percentage of each type of white blood cell in the blood, which is only a specific part of a blood examination.
• Venipuncture: The surgical puncture of a vein to withdraw blood, representing the collection procedure rather than the record of findings.
• Hemogram: Derived from hemo- (blood) and -gram (record/writing). It literally translates to a complete, detailed record of the findings in a thorough examination of the blood (often used synonymously with a complete blood count report).
• CBC: Abbreviation for Complete Blood Count, which is the clinical test itself rather than the formal medical term for the written record/graph of the blood findings.
