Q

Kirby-Bauer results chart: conclusion for

categories Resistant, Indeterminate,

Moderately Susceptible, Susceptible
A

Resistant: do not use that drug; it does not work

Indeterminate: we need more testing

Moderately Susceptible: the drug will work for the

patient if we can either: 1) use higher doses than

normal of the antibiotic safely, or 2) concentrate

the antibiotic in the body region of the infection.

Susceptible: use that drug; it works great

76
Q

Universal donor, why

A

Type O because on the donor side you worry

about the antigens (alloantigens), but type O

has no antigens.

77
Q

Universal recipient, why

A

Type AB because on the recipient side you worry

about the antibodies (alloantibodies), but type AB

has no antibodies.

78
Q

Rh factor: dominant

A

It is dominant to be Rh+.

79
Q

Rh factor: percentages of Rh+ vs. Rh-

A

85% of people: Rh+

15% of people: Rh-

80
Q

Rh antibodies: who can form

A

Only Rh- people can form or make Rh antibodies.

81
Q

Rh antibodies: when are they formed

A

Rh- people make Rh antibodies when:

1) a blood transfusion mistake occurs (they gave

    an Rh- patient Rh+ blood).

2) having a baby   (an Rh- mother gives birth

     to an Rh+ baby and the blood cells mix).

Q

AB mistake

A

Match up in the same patient:

 - A antigen and A antibody

         -OR-

 -  B antigen and B antibody
93
Q

Rh mistake

A

Give an Rh- patient Rh+ blood

94
Q

True universal donor, why

A

Type O- because on the donor side you worry about the

antigens, but type O- has no antigens.

95
Q

True universal recipient, why

A

Type AB+ because on the recipient side you

worry about the antibodies, but type AB+

has no antibodies. Because they are type

AB, they have no A and B antibodies. Because

they are Rh+, they cannot make Rh antibodies.

96
Q

Problem with Rh factor and babies: the mother

A

To have a problem with Rh factor and having babies,

the mother must be Rh- so she can make Rh antibodies.

97
Q

Problem with Rh factor and babies: the father

A

To have a problem with Rh factor and babies,

the father must be Rh+ so the couple can

have Rh+ babies.

98
Q

Problem with Rh factor and babies: the children

A

To have a problem with Rh factor and having babies,

that couple (mother: Rh-, father: Rh+) must have

two babies that are both Rh+.

99
Q

Rh antibodies: which class

A

Rh antibodies are always in a class called IgG,

which means they can cross the placenta.

100
Q

RhoGAM

A

RhoGAM is a medication that prevents the

mother from making Rh antibodies.

101
Q

Blood typing: Agglutination

A

Agglutination means cell clumping and appears

on a blood typing test as grainy/clumpy

(positive result).

102
Q

Front type

A

This is a direct test for blood typing antigens

(A, B, Rh).

103
Q

Back type

A

This is an indirect test for blood typing

antibodies (A and B).
