Question

question 5

if a patient has a test result indicating a blood alcohol level of .05, what type of test was performed to determine the information?

urine dip test
qualitative
microbiology
quantitative

Explanation:

Analyze the test result type

The test result provides a specific numerical value (\(0.05\)) representing the concentration of alcohol in the blood.

Differentiate qualitative and quantitative testing

• Qualitative tests determine the presence or absence of a substance (positive/negative).
• Quantitative tests measure the exact numerical amount or concentration of a substance.

Select the correct option

Since a specific numerical level (\(0.05\)) is measured, the test performed is a quantitative test.

Answer:

• Urine dip test
• Qualitative
• Microbiology
• Quantitative (Correct answer)
