Blood Types

Question 1

If a patient does not receive blood that is compatible with them, they can die, and have a transfusion reaction. TRUE OR FALSE

Answer 1

TRUE

Question 2

Everyone has a unique ________ _________

Answer 2

blood type

Question 3

How many blood types are there ?

Answer 3

There are 8 blood types that come from 4 blood groups (A, B. AB. O)

8 blood types come from whether you can be A+, A-, B+, B- , +/- determined by rH factor

Question 4

proteins that are found on the surface of a red blood cell

Answer 4

antigens - the type of antigen you have on your red blood cell depends on your blood type

Question 5

these blood type patients have no antigens on their RBC surface

Answer 5

Type O

Universal Donor

Question 6

the universal blood donor that can donate to anyone

Answer 6

Type O

Question 7

We do not want the same antigen-antibody getting together because if that happens our _____________ will be attacked

Answer 7

RBC

Question 8

A patient who has blood type A has antibodies for

Answer 8

B

Question 9

a reaction in which particles (as red blood cells or bacteria) suspended in a liquid collect into clumps and which occurs especially as a serological response to a specific antibody.

Answer 9

Agglutination

Question 10

Type B blood has what kind of antibodies

Answer 10

A antibodies (anti-A)

they have B antigens on their surface and surrounding them they have A antibodies

Question 11

Type AB blood has the A & B antigens on the surface of their RBC. what antibodies do they have ?

Answer 11

NONE , which allows them to receive any other type of blood, because there are no antibodies which will attack them. This makes them the universal recipient

Question 12

Type O has ___________ antigens and has _____________ antibodies in their plasma

Answer 12

no; A & B antibodies

they can donate to anyone because they have no antigens but can only receive blood from other O blood types b/c they have both A & B antibodies

Question 13

when we are looking for who can receive one blood type from another, look at the
when we are seeing, who can donate one blood type to another, look at

Answer 13

corresponding antigens; corresponding antibodies

Question 14

if a person has a + rH factor, they can receive both positive and negative blood. TRUE OR FALSE

Answer 14

TRUE

Question 15

if a person has a - RH factor, they can only receive from negative blood
TRUE OR FALSE

Answer 15

TRUE

Question 16

type O can’t receive blood from other blood types because

Answer 16

they have both A and B antibodies

Question 17

____________ occurs when the same antigens found on the RBCs from the donor come into contact with its corresponding antibody (found in the recipient’s plasma surrounding the RBCs).

Answer 17

Agglutination

In this scenario, the donor has Type A blood which has A antigens on the RBC surface while the recipient has Type O blood type that contains both A and B antibodies in the plasma. If the A antigens from the donor come into contact with the A antibodies in the recipient’s blood it will cause an IMMUNE RESPONSE….agglutination.
