Which of the following departments are part of the clinical pathology laboratory?

  1. Microbiology, Chemistry, Hematology, Blood Bank, Serology, and Coagulation

  2. Accounting, Chemistry, Hematology, Blood Bank, Serology, and Coagulation

  3. Microbiology, IT Services, Hematology, Blood Bank, Serology, and Coagulation

  4. Microbiology, Chemistry, Nutrition, Blood Bank, Serology, and Coagulation

The correct answer is: Microbiology, Chemistry, Hematology, Blood Bank, Serology, and Coagulation

Clinical pathology is the branch of pathology that deals with the diagnosis of disease through laboratory testing of bodily fluids and tissues. The departments that are involved in this process are typically Microbiology, Chemistry, Hematology, Blood Bank, Serology, and Coagulation. This is because these departments cover a wide range of tests that are essential for diagnosing diseases. Options B, C and D are incorrect because they either include departments that are not related to laboratory testing, such as accounting and IT services in option B and C, or they omit departments that are essential for clinical pathology, such as Microbiology in option D. Option A is the only correct answer as it includes all the necessary departments for clinical pathology.
