An Rh –ve person, when exposed to Rh +ve blood:
| 1. | will form antibodies against the Rh antigen |
| 2. | will be unaffected |
| 3. | will form antibodies against the Rh antigen only on second exposure |
| 4. | will receive anti Rh antibodies from the donor |
A person has type A antigen on RBC and anti-B antibodies in plasma. He can receive blood from a person with blood group:
| 1. | A and O | 2. | AB, A, B and O |
| 3. | B and O | 4. | Only O |
To prevent eryhtroblastosis fetalis in future pregnancies:
| 1. | Anti-Rh Immunoglobulins must be given to Rh –ve mothers at the time of each delivery |
| 2. | Anti-Rh Immunoglobulins must be given to new born at the time of each delivery |
| 3. | Rh Antigens must be given to new born at the time of each delivery |
| 4. | Anti Antigens must be given to Rh –ve mothers at the time of each delivery |
The most popularly known blood grouping is the ABO grouping. It is named ABO and not ABC, because O in it refers to having
| 1. | No antigens A or B on RBCs. |
| 2. | Other antigens besides A and B on RBCs. |
| 3. | Overdominance of this type on the genes for A and B types. |
| 4. | One antibody only (either anti-A and anti-B) on the RBCs. |
An Rh +ve female is pregnant with an Rh –ve fetus for the second time. The consequences can be:
| 1. | The fetus can have severe anemia or jaundice |
| 2. | The mother can have delayed reactions and may develop jaundice |
| 3. | There will be no consequences |
| 4. | The fetus will have growth and mental retardation |
Which of these statements about the ABO blood group is NOT true?
| 1. | A person with type O blood can donate blood to individuals with type A, B, AB, or O blood types. |
| 2. | Transfusions should be made considering the plasma of the donor and the erythrocytes of the patient (recipient). |
| 3. | A person with type A blood should not receive a transfusion from someone with type AB blood. |
| 4. | A person with type O blood has both the A and B antigens. |
| P | Q | R | S | |
| 1. | O positive | A negative | B positive | AB negative |
| 2. | O positive | A negative | B negative | AB positive |
| 3. | O negative | A positive | B negative | AB negative |
| 4. | O negative | A negative | B positive | AB positive |
What is true for the blood Type O?
| 1. | It is universal donor because it has neither anti-A antibodies nor anti-B antibodies circulating in the plasma. |
| 2. | It is universal donor because it has neither antigen A nor antigen B on its RBCs. |
| 3. | It is universal recipient because it has neither anti-A antibodies nor anti-B antibodies circulating in the plasma. |
| 4. | It is universal recipient because it has neither antigen A nor antigen B on its RBCs. |
