Blood transfusion
Blood transfusion ( 30 Questions)
Select all the blood types that can be safely transfused to a client with blood type O-.
A+ blood can be safely transfused to a client with blood type O-. The rationale is that the recipient, in this case, does not have antibodies against the A antigen, which is present on A+ blood. Therefore, there is no antigen-antibody reaction.
B- blood can be safely transfused to a client with blood type O-. The rationale is similar to choice A, as the recipient does not have antibodies against the B antigen, which is present on B- blood.
AB+ blood contains both A and B antigens and RhD antigen, which can potentially react with antibodies present in a client with blood type O-. Therefore, it is not safe to transfuse AB+ blood to a client with blood type O-.
O+ blood can be safely transfused to a client with blood type O-. The rationale is that O+ blood does not have A or B antigens, which could react with antibodies present in the recipient.
O- blood is compatible with blood type O- because it does not contain A, B, or RhD antigens, which could be targeted by antibodies in the recipient.
Choice A rationale:
A+ blood can be safely transfused to a client with blood type O-.
The rationale is that the recipient, in this case, does not have antibodies against the A antigen, which is present on A+ blood.
Therefore, there is no antigen-antibody reaction.
Choice B rationale:
B- blood can be safely transfused to a client with blood type O-.
The rationale is similar to choice A, as the recipient does not have antibodies against the B antigen, which is present on B- blood.
Choice C rationale:
AB+ blood contains both A and B antigens and RhD antigen, which can potentially react with antibodies present in a client with blood type O-.
Therefore, it is not safe to transfuse AB+ blood to a client with blood type O-.
Choice D rationale:
O+ blood can be safely transfused to a client with blood type O-.
The rationale is that O+ blood does not have A or B antigens, which could react with antibodies present in the recipient.
Choice E rationale:
O- blood is compatible with blood type O- because it does not contain A, B, or RhD antigens, which could be targeted by antibodies in the recipient.
