Cytology necta questions

Cells examined for cytopathology can come from fluids such as:

1. urine or sputum or may be extracted from tissue
such as :>
2. from inside the chest or abdomen

Cells can also be extracted by inserting needles into growths or diseased areas or tissues—called fine-needle aspiration cytology, or FNAC.

The practical questions include:

1. interpretive and problem-solving aspects of cytopathology
2. including :
3. clinical
4. radiologic and histologic correlation and management guidelines

The written questions include:factual, administrative, technical, and regulatory aspects of cytopathology, systems-based practice, and patient care.

Cytology covered by all mandates applying to high complexity testing •Other mandates governing cytology laboratories:

1. –Location of cytology testing
2. methods of slide preparation and staining
3. retention of records –Personnel requirements and duties –Established workload limits based on performance evaluations

If the sample has adequate cellularity and the cells are well-stained and well-preserved, the next step in cytologic diagnosis is the identification of the cell types and pathologic process that are present.
It helps to ask a series of questions when working through smears:

1. Is there evidence of hemorrhage?
