Blood transfusion
Blood transfusion ( 30 Questions)
A client with blood type O+ is scheduled for surgery.
The nurse is reviewing the compatibility of blood types for potential transfusion during the procedure.
Which of the following blood types can be safely transfused to this client?
AB+ blood type contains both A and B antigens as well as the Rh antigen (positive) Blood type O+ has neither A nor B antigens but does have the Rh antigen. Therefore, AB+ blood cannot be safely transfused to a client with blood type O+ as it would lead to a mismatch in ABO compatibility.
O- blood type is the universal donor for red blood cell transfusions. It lacks both A and B antigens as well as the Rh antigen, making it compatible with all other blood types. Since the client in question has blood type O+, which is Rh-positive, O- blood can be safely transfused without any ABO or Rh incompatibility.
A+ blood type contains A antigens and the Rh antigen (positive) Blood type O+ lacks A antigens but does have the Rh antigen. Therefore, A+ blood is not compatible with O+ blood due to ABO incompatibility.
B+ blood type contains B antigens and the Rh antigen (positive) Blood type O+ lacks B antigens but does have the Rh antigen. Therefore, B+ blood is not compatible with O+ blood due to ABO incompatibility.
Choice A rationale:
AB+ blood type contains both A and B antigens as well as the Rh antigen (positive)
Blood type O+ has neither A nor B antigens but does have the Rh antigen.
Therefore, AB+ blood cannot be safely transfused to a client with blood type O+ as it would lead to a mismatch in ABO compatibility.
Choice B rationale:
O- blood type is the universal donor for red blood cell transfusions.
It lacks both A and B antigens as well as the Rh antigen, making it compatible with all other blood types.
Since the client in question has blood type O+, which is Rh-positive, O- blood can be safely transfused without any ABO or Rh incompatibility.
Choice C rationale:
A+ blood type contains A antigens and the Rh antigen (positive)
Blood type O+ lacks A antigens but does have the Rh antigen.
Therefore, A+ blood is not compatible with O+ blood due to ABO incompatibility.
Choice D rationale:
B+ blood type contains B antigens and the Rh antigen (positive)
Blood type O+ lacks B antigens but does have the Rh antigen.
Therefore, B+ blood is not compatible with O+ blood due to ABO incompatibility.
