CBC stands for which test?

• A. Complete Blood Count - a common blood test
• B. Comprehensive Blood Chemistry
• C. Central Blood Count
• D. Cardiac Blood Count

Answer: (A)

The main idea is recognizing what CBC stands for and what that test does. CBC stands for Complete Blood Count, a routine blood test that counts and measures components of blood such as red blood cells, white blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and platelets, often with calculated indices like MCV and RDW. This test provides a broad view of overall health and helps detect conditions like anemia, infections, and other blood disorders. The other options aren’t standard names for this test: a comprehensive blood chemistry is not a CBC and is typically referred to as a comprehensive metabolic panel or chemistry panel; central blood count and cardiac blood count aren’t recognized tests. So the best answer is Complete Blood Count.
