A & P 2 Blood Typing
Blood type _____ is sometimes considered the universal donor within the ABO blood group.
O
Which of the following blood types would represent a compatible donor for a person with blood type O?
O
Blood type B is the most common blood type found in the United States population.
false
This condition is known as ______ disease of the fetus and newborn.
hemolytic
A patient who is blood type AB received blood from a type O person. Because the type O blood has ____________ , the patient will not produce ____________ against this transfused blood.
neither A nor B antigens; antibodies
The antigens related to the ABO blood group are located
on the red blood cell membrane.
The Rh blood group was named after the ____________.
rhesus monkey
The best blood to receive is the blood with the ____________ as your own blood type; thus, if you are blood type B, then your preferred donor type would be ____________
same blood type; blood type B
A patient with blood type O who receives blood type A blood will have a ____________ because this patient produces both anti-A and anti-B _______ which will agglutinate with the type A _______.
transfusion reaction; agglutinins; agglutinogens
An individual with blood type O lacks both RBC antigens A and B.
true
The antibodies related to the ABO blood group are located
within the plasma
The D antigen related to the Rh factor is present in about ______ of Americans.
85%
A patient with blood type A would not be able to receive blood from blood types ____________ because if he did, he would produce ____________ in response, which would cause ____________ of his blood.
B and AB; anti-B agglutinins; agglutination
Of the antigens in the Rh group, the most important is ____________.
D
blood type AB
- Anti-A serum agglutinates; Anti-B serum agglutinates - Occurs least frequently in US population
blood type O
- Anti-A serum does not agglutinate; Anti-B serum does not agglutinate - Occurs most frequently in US population
Rh-positive
- In a laboratory, a blood sample clumps when anti-D is added - Rh factor of pregnant woman who contains D antigens sticking out from plasma membranes of red blood cells
Type A
- RBC Antigen: A - Plasma Antibody: Anti-B - Incompatible donor types: B and AB
Type AB
- RBC Antigen: A - Plasma Antibody: neither anti-A nor anti-B - Incompatible donor types: none
Type B
- RBC Antigen: B - Plasma Antibody: Anti-A - Incompatible donor types: A and AB
Type O
- RBC Antigen: neither A nor B - Plasma Antibody: both anti-A and anti-B - Incompatible donor types: A, B, AB
Rh-negative
- in the laboratory, a blood sample does not clump when anti-D is added - RH factor of pregnant woman who can produce antibodies against fetal antigens - Pregnant woman who would have to be injected with RhoGAM to prevent the mother from producing D antibodies
About ______ of Americans are Rh-negative.
15%
Blood type _____ is sometimes considered the universal recipient within the ABO blood group.
AB
Which of the following represents the lowest percentage blood type in the U.S. population?
AB
blood type A
Anti-A serum agglutinates; Anti-B serum does not agglutinate
blood type B
Anti-A serum does not agglutinate; Anti-B serum agglutinates
If an _____ woman is pregnant carrying an ____ fetus, the mother might obtain some RBCs from the fetus during the birth process or during a miscarriage
Rh-negative; Rh-positive
Hemolytic disease of the newborn could be of concern when an
Rh-positive fetus and an Rh-negative mother condition occur.
This condition can be prevented with the proper administration of _______, which prevents the mother from producing _______ antibodies.
RhoGAM; anti-D
As a result, the mother would begin producing _____ antibodies, creating complications for the second and future pregnancies
anti-D
