- You are performing an experiment to diagnose three patients who are ill. In a hematology lab, you run a CBC using the hematology analyzer on all 3 of your patience blood samples, once you collect that data, you then conduct a blood smear/stain to get a better look at the 3 patients blood cells and compare those results to those of the CBC report. You conclude that patient 1 has malaria, patient 2 has sickle cell anemia, and patient 3 has hemophilia. Can you Identify your independent, dependent and controlled variables?arrow_forwardMelinda was working the day shift in the hematology laboratory. The laboratory’s protocol called for three levels of blood cell controls to be run at the following times: 1) at the beginning of the shift, 2) within each run of patient samples during the day and 3) any times reagents were changed. The mean for the low (abnormal) control for the red blood cell count was given as 2.00 x 10^12/L, the standard deviation was 0.15, and the confidence limit (acceptable control range) was 2.00 x 10^12/L +/- 2sd (or +/- 0.3). The first morning low control result was 2.10 (x 10^12/L). In five subsequent runs, the low control results were 2.16, 2.19, 2.20, 2.22 and 2.25. 1.
