A cytotechnologist who finds abnormal cellular changes consults which professional?
AA pathologist
BA cardiologist
CA geneticist
DA microbiologist
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. A pathologist
1. Cytotechnologists study cells by microscopic examination and other laboratory tests.
2. They are trained to judge which cellular changes are within normal limits and which are abnormal.
3. Making the clinical diagnosis itself requires a medical doctor, and that role belongs to the pathologist.
4. An abnormal finding is therefore passed to a pathologist.
