question
Clotting is necessary to mend breaks in circulatory vessels and to prevent extreme losses of blood, but it can also have detrimental effects if unregulated. Various factors may either enhance or inhibit this process.
answer
Enhancers- Tissue Factor, PF3, Calcium Ions, Thrombin, Fibrinogen, Vitamin K
Inhibitors- Aspirin, Heparin, Coumadin
Neither- Serum
question
What blood type has both anti-A and anti-B antibodies in their plasma?
type O
type Rh-positive
type AB
type Rh-negative
answer
type O
question
Donor and recipient blood types are A positive. Mixing recipient serum with donor RBCs caused agglutination. No agglutination occurred when donor serum was mixed with recipient RBCs. Is the blood safe for transfusion?
No, antibodies in the recipient's plasma are interacting with some unidentified antigen on the donor RBCs.
No, antibodies in the recipient's blood will cross-react with antibodies in the donor blood.
Yes, typing and cross matching show that the donor blood is compatible with the recipient's blood type.
No, the donor blood has antibodies that will react with recipient RBCs.
answer
No, antibodies in the recipient's plasma are interacting with some unidentified antigen on the donor RBCs.
question
When typing a patient's blood, agglutination occurred with anti-A and anti-Rh antibodies. What is this patient's blood type?
A positive
B negative
O positive
AB positive
answer
A positive
question
What is the basis of the ABO blood groups?
presence or absence of A and B antigens on the surface of RBCs
antigens in the blood plasma
Rh blood groups
presence of anti-A and anti-B antibodies in the plasma
answer
presence or absence of A and B antigens on the surface of RBCs
question
What blood type can a person with O negative blood receive in a transfusion?
type AB negative
type O negative
type O positive
type AB positive
answer
type O negative
question
The ABO blood groups are based on which of two antigens, type A or type B, a person inherits.
answer
A person with blood type B has antigen B on his or her RBCs.
A person with blood type AB has both A and B antigens on his or her RBCs.
A person with blood type A has antigen A on his or her RBCs.
A person with blood type O has neither A nor B antigen on his or her RBCs.
question
Rh antigens are separate from ABO antigens and were originally discovered in Rhesus monkeys.
An Rh+ mom carrying an Rh- fetus is at risk for hemolytic disease of the newborn.
Anti-Rh antibodies are not automatically made, unlike the antibodies in ABO blood groups.
Anti-Rh antibodies are automatically made, like the antibodies in ABO blood groups.
An Rh- mom carrying her second Rh+ fetus is at risk for hemolytic disease of the newborn.
answer
Anti-Rh antibodies are not automatically made, unlike the antibodies in ABO blood groups.
An Rh- mom carrying her second Rh+ fetus is at risk for hemolytic disease of the newborn.
question
In the case of pregnancy, the danger lies in a sensitized Rh- mother carrying an Rh+ fetus. How does this harm the fetus?
answer
Rh- mother delivers
healthy first Rh+ baby.
Rh- mother is exposed
to Rh+ antigens.
Rh- mother makes
anti-Rh antibodies.
Rh- mother is pregnant
with second Rh+ baby.
Anti-Rh antibodies
cross the placenta.
Anti-Rh antibodies destroy
Rh+ baby's RBCs.
question
Blood is vital for transporting substances through the body. When a person bleeds, that person is hemorrhaging. Blood loss over 30% can be fatal if not replaced by a blood transfusion.

A person with type A- blood could receive type A- blood or type O- blood.
A person with type B+ blood could receive type B+ blood, type B- blood, type O- blood, or type O+ blood.
question
What is the cause of the physiologic jaundice seen in some newborns?
The bone marrow is unable to produce new RBCs.
Liver is too immature to handle the breakdown products of hemoglobin if fetal RBCs are rapidly destroyed.
The lack of iron in the newborn's diet limits the production of RBCs.
The low oxygen content of blood causes the skin to have a yellowish hue.
