- Question 13
- AB Rh-negative

- A Rh-positive
- O Rh-negative
- Question 14
- The person has D antigen on red blood cells
- The person has anti-D antibodies naturally
- The person lacks all Rh antigens
- The person has both A and B antigens
- Question 15
- Neither system can produce antibodies
- Rh antibodies are naturally present in everyone
- Rh antibodies develop after exposure to Rh-positive cells
- ABO antibodies develop only after pregnancy
- Question 16
- Anti-D antibodies are not expected solely because the person is Rh-negative
- Anti-A and anti-B antibodies are absent
- The person must be type AB
- Naturally occurring anti-D antibodies are expected
- Question 17
- ABO antigens disappear during pregnancy
- Rh antibodies can cross into the circulation of a later Rh-positive fetus
- The fetus always has type O blood
- Rh-positive mothers cannot produce antibodies
- Question 18
- Anti-D antibodies reacting with D antigen
- Anti-B antibodies reacting with albumin
- HLA antibodies reacting with hemoglobin
- Anti-A antibodies reacting with platelets only
- Question 19
- HLA tissue test
- Type and cross-match
- Platelet count
- Type and screen
- Question 20
- It tests compatibility with a specific donor unit
- It identifies only the Rh factor
- It measures albumin concentration
- It removes leukocytes from the recipient
- Question 21
- Only when a person has type AB blood
- When no blood product is being considered
- Only after an allergic reaction has occurred
- When transfusion is definitely planned or expected soon
- Question 22
- To determine whether red blood cells contain hemoglobin
- To calculate the blood volume of the patient
- To identify the patient's tissue type for every diagnosis
- To compare a patient's blood with a specific donor unit for compatibility
- Question 23
- Serum albumin testing
- Hematocrit measurement
- HLA testing
- ABO antibody screen
- Question 24
- HLA varies among individuals and antibodies may develop after exposure
- HLA determines whether blood is type A or type B
- HLA is identical in all people
- HLA is found only on red blood cells
- Question 25
- A compatibility comparison with an identified donor unit
- A platelet count without blood typing
- ABO and Rh results without a donor unit
- An HLA result without recipient identification
