102. Four children are admitted with malaise, anorexia and abdominal pain. Further evaluations reveal mild

104. Production of alcoholic beverages by fermentation is probably among the first chemical processes
employed by humans. Alcohol concentration is commonly described as the proof number. Nineteenth-century
fur traders lacking testing equipment could determine proof of spirit. They would pour a small amount of black
gunpowder onto a stump, add some of the alcohol, and set it afire. If the alcohol were at least 50% (v/v), the
gunpowder would ignite after the liquid burned off and the preparation was described as 100 proof. Suppose
that a certain whiskey were 45% (v/v). The alcohol proof number would be:
A. 10 B. 20 C. 22.5 D. 45 E. 90
105. The most toxic among the arsenicals is the gaseous

A. tryparsamide C. arsenic sulfate

GOOD LUCK !!!

LONG QUIZ 8
1. What is the most important role of a DTL in solving societal problems?

The most important role of DTL in solving societal problems is to regulate the number of
illegal drug users to secure the safety and minimize the health concerns in the society brought
about by the usage of these prohibited drugs.
2. Why do people subject themselves to drug testing? Give three answers.

If they have been ordered by the court. If they are employees of public and private offices for
the company’s work rules and if they are secondary/tertiary students to prevent present and
future drug use.
3. Name three (3) governmental agencies that help in ensuring the smooth operation of DTL
in the Philippines.
Department of Health through Bureau of Health Facilities and Services, Department of Social
Welfare and Development and Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency.
4. Give two (2) differences between a screening lab and a confirmatory lab.
Screening lab provides presumptive test that determines + result and the type of drug used
while that of confirmatory is conclusive and more specific and confirms a + screening test.
5. Cite three (3) clinical sample-drug combinations that are commonly encountered in DTL.
MDMA or Methylenedioxymethamphetamine(ecstasy), Methamphetamine Hydrochloride
(Shabu) and Cannabis/ Synthetic Cannabis (Marijuana/Synthetic Marijuana).
6. What is the RA 9165 all about?

Mandates the prohibition of the usage of illegal drugs, includes the monitoring of the
integration of all drug rehabilitation, intervention, aftercare, follow-up programs as well as the
penalties of those involved in the usage and operation of drug establishments.
7. According to your group, what is the most menacing drug in the Philippines? Explain
For us, methamphetamine hydrochloride/shabu is the most menacing drug in the Philippines
because according to our research, it is the most used/prevalent one followed by marijuana.
Most of Filipino drug addicts were caught with “shabu’’ which has the capacity to cause
unsound mind and can contribute to insanity and mental disorders and destroying their lives as
a whole.
8. Cite three functions of the NRL for Toxicology Assay.

It provides laboratory reference for confirmatory testing, maintains quality assurance program
and trains laboratory personnel.
9. Name three individuals who can become a DTL Analyst.

Registered Medical Technologists, Chemical Engineers and Pharmacists.
10. What are the training requirements for the Authorized Specimen Collector? Give
three. Qualification training, Initial Proficiency Demonstration and Error Correction
Training.
11. Describe the best collection device for urine specimen in drug testing.
Multi-Drug Integrated Split Specimen Test Cup is a urine collection device with a built-in
qualitative test panel for the simultaneous detection of multiple drugs and metabolites in
human urine without specimen handling. It is intended for professional in vitro diagnostic only.
12. What are 3 out of the many functions of the Analyst of DTL?
Supervises the operations including collection and encoding of results; interprets, records and
releases results and ensures that all legal requirements are compiled.
13. In what two (2) ways do you think can the government solve the drug-related problems in
the Philippines based on the RA 9165?
It can be solved by pursuing intensive campaign against the use of illegal drugs through the
implementation of anti- drug abuse programs and enforcing penalties to those found guilty of
using it.
14. If you are chosen to be part of random drug testing, are you amenable to it? Reason out
why or why not.
As a righteous citizen of the country who understands well the purpose of having random drug
testing, I am willing to do it to follow my nation’s rules and regulations. As long as it is for the
betterment of the country, I am willing to support it.
15. What do you think is the worst drug-related problem that this country have and why?
I guess, it’s the Philippines’ War on Drugs the previous year. I can say that it’s worst because it
doesn’t follow proper due process which involves the killing of the innocent ones.
16. How can you help solve the drug-related problems in our country?
I would educate the people regarding the risks and health complications that these drugs will
cause them and giving them knowledge on how they could recover from it; institutions they
would go to and practices they can follow.
17. Give three characteristics of the prescribed Collection Site for urine in a DTL.
A restroom with toilet for the employee to have privacy while providing the urine specimen; a
source of water (if practical, external) for washing hands and a suitable, clean surface as a
work area.
18. Cite three testing reasons for Oral Fluid according to DTL.
Three testing reasons for oral fluid are for pre-employment, random testing and reasonable
suspicion/cause.
19. How is the integrity of the urine for drug testing ensured?

Procedures and protocols are strictly followed from the collection of the specimen, transport
and analysis in accredited testing laboratory and other precautions such as eliminating water
sources and prohibiting personal belongings in the collection room.
20. Compare and contrast a COC from an MFR.

Chain of Custody references a paper trail/ a course of action of documenting the manage of
storage of a specimen from the moment a donor provides the specimen to the final destination
of the specimen and review and reporting of the final test result while Memorandum for
Records contain information that is usually not recorded in writing during a process. Both are
essential in maintaining the integrity of the patient specimen in DTL as well as integrity of
evidence
