Question 3 • AA - S26 Introduction to Healthcare Science

How did the process of a CBC (complete blood count) change with the invention of the automatic cell counter?

Answer
A
Cell counts were done using a microscope instead of a machine.
B
Cell counts were done more slowly but more accurately.
C
Cell counts were done for white blood cells instead of red blood cells.
D
Cell counts were done more quickly and were more reliable.

Explanation

Before automatic cell counters, blood cells had to be counted manually under a microscope, which took time and could vary between people. Automatic counters made CBC cell counts faster and more consistent, so the correct choice is “Cell counts were done more quickly and were more reliable.”
