Blood transfusion
Blood transfusion ( 30 Questions)
Which of the following blood types can the nurse safely administer to this client?
B- blood can be safely transfused to a client with blood type B+ since B+ individuals do not have anti-B antibodies. However, the reverse is not true. A client with blood type B+ should not receive B- blood because B- blood has anti-A antibodies that can react with the A antigen present on the recipient's red blood cells.
A- blood can be safely transfused to a client with blood type B+ since B+ individuals do not have anti-A antibodies. However, the reverse is not true. A client with blood type B+ should not receive A- blood because A- blood has anti-B antibodies that can react with the B antigen present on the recipient's red blood cells.
O- blood can be safely transfused to a client with blood type B+ because O- blood is universally compatible with all blood types. O- blood does not contain A, B, or RhD antigens, making it safe for transfusion to recipients with any blood type.
AB- blood can be safely transfused to a client with blood type B+ since B+ individuals do not have anti-A or anti-B antibodies. However, the reverse is not true. A client with blood type B+ should not receive AB- blood because AB- blood contains both A and B antigens, which can react with the antibodies present in the recipient's plasma.
Choice A rationale:
B- blood can be safely transfused to a client with blood type B+ since B+ individuals do not have anti-B antibodies.
However, the reverse is not true.
A client with blood type B+ should not receive B- blood because B- blood has anti-A antibodies that can react with the A antigen present on the recipient's red blood cells.
Choice B rationale:
A- blood can be safely transfused to a client with blood type B+ since B+ individuals do not have anti-A antibodies.
However, the reverse is not true.
A client with blood type B+ should not receive A- blood because A- blood has anti-B antibodies that can react with the B antigen present on the recipient's red blood cells.
Choice C rationale:
O- blood can be safely transfused to a client with blood type B+ because O- blood is universally compatible with all blood types.
O- blood does not contain A, B, or RhD antigens, making it safe for transfusion to recipients with any blood type.
Choice D rationale:
AB- blood can be safely transfused to a client with blood type B+ since B+ individuals do not have anti-A or anti-B antibodies.
However, the reverse is not true.
A client with blood type B+ should not receive AB- blood because AB- blood contains both A and B antigens, which can react with the antibodies present in the recipient's plasma.
