The images below represent the results of normal (left image) and abnormal (right image) levels of control that are tested daily for a specific analyte. On which day should the run be rejected if Westgard rules are used to evaluate QC? Questions: a. On which day and which control level should the run be rejected, if any? (2pts) b. If there is a QC violation, what specific QC violation was observed? (1pt) c. What type of error, if any, would this represent? (1pt) d. State at least one source that contributed to this type of error. (1 pt) e. State at least one way that you would troubleshoot this error. Be concise and specific for full credit. (1 pt)
