When collection is complete the collector must make _____________ from the collection bag tubing.

Correct Answer(s)
segments
Segments
segment
Segment

Explanation
When the collection is complete, the collector must make divisions or separate the collection bag tubing into smaller parts. These smaller parts are referred to as segments or segments. The use of the plural form "segments" suggests that there may be multiple divisions or parts that need to be made. The capitalization of "Segments" and "Segment" indicates that these options are also correct, as they are alternative ways of referring to the same concept.

Rate this question:
20.

The segments must remain attached to the unit at all times in order to be used for a transfusion
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

In order for the segments to be used for a transfusion, they must remain attached to the unit at all times. This is because the segments contain the necessary components for a transfusion, such as blood cells and plasma. If the segments were detached from the unit, they would not be able to be used for a transfusion as they would not have the necessary components. Therefore, it is true that the segments must remain attached to the unit at all times for a transfusion.

Below are 6 of the 11 Serological donor test. Which of the 6 are preformed with NAT?
- WNV RNA
- Antibody Screen
- HbsAg
- Anti-HCV
- HIV RNA
- HCV RNA
Correct Answer(s)

A. WNV RNA
A. HIV RNA
A. HCV RNA

Explanation

The serological donor tests that are performed with NAT (Nucleic Acid Testing) are WNV RNA, HIV RNA, and HCV RNA. NAT is a molecular technique used to detect the presence of viral genetic material (RNA or DNA) in a blood sample. It is highly sensitive and can detect viral infections even before antibodies are produced. Therefore, these tests are used to screen for the presence of West Nile Virus (WNV), Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), and Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) in blood donors. The other tests listed (Antibody Screen, HbsAg, and Anti-HCV) are serological tests that detect the presence of antibodies against specific viruses, rather than the viral genetic material itself.

Rate this question:
22.

The following screening test have the Western Blot as its Confirmatory Test: Anti-HIV 1/2 EIA, Anti-HIV 2EIA, and Anti-HTLV I/II
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

The Western Blot is a confirmatory test used to detect antibodies against specific viruses, such as HIV and HTLV. In this case, the screening tests mentioned (Anti-HIV 1/2 EIA, Anti-HIV 2EIA, and Anti-HTLV I/II) are used to initially screen for the presence of antibodies against HIV and HTLV. If any of these screening tests are positive, the Western Blot is performed to confirm the results. Therefore, the statement that these screening tests have the Western Blot as their confirmatory test is true.

Rate this question:
23.

A test for _____________ to detect the virus can save premature infants from a possible life-threatening infection.
- CMV
- ISBT
- ABO/Rh
- None of the above
Correct Answer

A. CMV

Explanation

CMV stands for Cytomegalovirus, which is a common virus that can cause severe complications in premature infants. A test for CMV can help detect the virus early on and prevent the infants from developing a life-threatening infection. The other options (ISBT and ABO/Rh) are not relevant to detecting the virus in premature infants.

Rate this question:
24.

______________ is a type of donation that is when the intended recipient makes for himself.

Correct Answer

The minimum testing required in order for a patient to get their own blood back is a(n) ____________ and requires NO ____________
- Antibody screen, crossmatch
- ABO/Rh, crossmatch
- Antibody titer, crossmatch
- None of the above
Correct Answer

A. ABO/Rh, crossmatch

Explanation

The minimum testing required for a patient to get their own blood back is an ABO/Rh test and a crossmatch. This means that the patient's blood type and Rh factor are determined, and then a crossmatch is performed to ensure compatibility between the patient's blood and the blood that will be transfused back to them. This testing is necessary to prevent any adverse reactions or complications during the transfusion process.

Rate this question:
27.

____________ type of donation is also called designated or defined or patient-specific, and it is collections that are assigned to a specific patient or recipient.

Correct Answer
directed
Directed

Explanation
The correct answer is "directed" or "Directed". In this context, directed donation refers to a specific type of donation where the collections are assigned or designated for a particular patient or recipient. It is also known as defined or patient-specific donation.

Rate this question:
28.

The directed unit does undergo ____________ if the donor is a blood relative family member of the intended recipient - that is mother, father, child, etc... and is labeled with what color tags and labels?
- Irradiation, blue
- Irradiation, yellow
- Radiation, green
- Radiation, red
Correct Answer

A. Irradiation, yellow

Explanation

When a directed unit of blood is donated by a blood relative family member of the intended recipient (e.g., mother, father, child), it undergoes irradiation. This process helps to prevent a condition called graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), where the immune cells in the donated blood attack the recipient's tissues. The irradiated blood unit is labeled with yellow tags and labels to indicate that it has undergone this special treatment.

Rate this question:
29.

Irradiated units of blood MUST have a changed expiration date, so it will change from 42 to 28
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

When blood units are irradiated, it means they have been exposed to radiation to kill any potential pathogens. This process can affect the shelf life of the blood, as it may cause changes in the blood's properties. Therefore, irradiated units of blood must have a changed expiration date to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the blood product. In this case, the expiration date is changed from 42 days to 28 days, indicating that the statement is true.

Rate this question:
30.

If the expiration date is greater than 4 weeks, we shorten it but if it is equal to 4 weeks we keep the date
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

The explanation for the given correct answer is that if the expiration date is greater than 4 weeks, it is shortened. This means that the expiration date is adjusted to be less than 4 weeks. However, if the expiration date is exactly 4 weeks, it is not shortened and remains the same. Therefore, the statement "If the expiration date is greater than 4 weeks, we shorten it but if it is equal to 4 weeks we keep the date" is true.

Rate this question:
31.

The pH of a unit of blood __________ as hydrogen ions accumulate as the result of conversion of glucose to ______.
- Decreases, lactate
- Increases, lactate
- Is unchanged, lactose
- None of the above
Correct Answer

A. Decreases, lactate

Explanation

The pH of a unit of blood decreases as hydrogen ions accumulate as the result of conversion of glucose to lactate. This is because the conversion of glucose to lactate produces hydrogen ions, which increases the acidity of the blood. As a result, the pH of the blood decreases.

Rate this question:
32.

__________________ also decreases in stored blood and its decrease is associated with the conversion of a normal biconcave___________________ to a _____________ thereby making it more fragile.
- ATP, sphere, disc
- DTT, circle, square
- ATP, disc, sphere
- None of the above
Correct Answer

A. ATP, disc, sphere

Explanation

ATP is a molecule that provides energy for cellular processes. In stored blood, the decrease in ATP levels is associated with the conversion of a normal biconcave disc-shaped red blood cell to a sphere-shaped red blood cell. This change in shape makes the red blood cell more fragile.

Rate this question:
33.

The anticoagulant CPDA-1 provides _______ and ________ which also contributes to the ATP pool and allows ATP synthesis, respectively.
- Phosphate, adenine
- Sodium, adenine
- Potassium, phosphate
- None of the above
Correct Answer

A. Phosphate, adenine

Explanation

CPDA-1 is an anticoagulant that provides phosphate and adenine. Phosphate is a crucial component in the ATP (adenosine triphosphate) molecule, which is the main source of energy in cells. Adenine is one of the nitrogenous bases that make up DNA and RNA, and it plays a role in ATP synthesis. Therefore, the presence of both phosphate and adenine in CPDA-1 contributes to the ATP pool and allows ATP synthesis. The other options, sodium and potassium, are not directly involved in ATP synthesis or contribute to the ATP pool.

Rate this question:
34.

_____________ is necessary to enable hemoglobin to have a normal O2 affinity
- 3,2 DPG
- 2,3 DPG
- 2,3 PEG
- None of the above
Correct Answer

A. 2,3 DPG

Explanation

2,3 DPG is necessary to enable hemoglobin to have a normal O2 affinity. 2,3 DPG is a small molecule that binds to hemoglobin and helps regulate its oxygen affinity. It is produced in red blood cells during glycolysis and acts as a negative allosteric regulator of hemoglobin's affinity for oxygen. By binding to hemoglobin, 2,3 DPG decreases its affinity for oxygen, allowing for efficient unloading of oxygen to tissues. Without 2,3 DPG, hemoglobin would have a higher affinity for oxygen, making it less likely to release oxygen to tissues.

Rate this question:
35.

Another effect storage has on red cell products is the Na-K (sodium-potassium) balance. _________ moves into red cells and _____________ moves out.
- Sodium, Potassium
- Potassium, Sodium
- Both A & B are possible
- None of the above
Correct Answer

A. Sodium, Potassium

Explanation

Sodium moves into red cells and potassium moves out. This is because red cells have a higher concentration of potassium inside compared to the surrounding plasma, so potassium diffuses out of the cell. At the same time, sodium moves into the cell in order to maintain the Na-K balance. Therefore, the correct answer is Sodium, Potassium.

Rate this question:
36.

Blood used for neonatal exchange transfusions should be less than ____ old to minimize K.
- 4 days
- 7 days
- 11 days
- None of the above
Correct Answer

A. 7 days

Explanation

Blood used for neonatal exchange transfusions should be less than 7 days old to minimize the risk of complications, such as infection or hemolysis. After 7 days, the blood may have degraded and may not provide the necessary oxygen-carrying capacity. Therefore, it is important to use fresh blood for neonatal exchange transfusions to ensure the best possible outcomes for the newborn.

Rate this question:
37.

Patients in renal failure (dialysis patients) should receive fresh red cells
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

Patients in renal failure (dialysis patients) should receive fresh red cells because they often have anemia as a result of their condition. Fresh red cells have higher levels of oxygen-carrying capacity, which can help improve their oxygenation and overall well-being. Additionally, dialysis patients often undergo frequent blood transfusions, and fresh red cells can help minimize the risk of adverse reactions or complications associated with older blood. Therefore, it is essential to provide them with fresh red cells to optimize their treatment and enhance their quality of life.

Rate this question:
38.

Potassium is __________ and Sodium is ____________.
- In vivo, in vitro
- Extracellular, intracellular
- Intracellular, extracellular
- In vitro, in vivo
Correct Answer

A. Intracellular, extracellular

Explanation

Potassium is predominantly found inside cells, making it intracellular. Sodium, on the other hand, is mainly found outside of cells, making it extracellular.

Platelets and plasma componenents are now collected at WTRBC by a method called _____________
- Apheresis
- Concentration
- Spheresis concentration
- None of the above
Correct Answer

A. Apheresis

Explanation

Apheresis is a method used to collect specific blood components, such as platelets and plasma, from a donor. It involves removing blood from the donor, separating the desired components, and returning the remaining blood components back to the donor. This process allows for the collection of a higher concentration of platelets or plasma compared to traditional blood donation methods. Therefore, apheresis is the correct method used for collecting platelets and plasma components at WTRBC.

Rate this question:
40.

The shelf life (expiration date) of the frozen products (-18 degrees or colder) is _________ after the date of collection, and the shelf life of platelet products today is _______ with room temperature storage
- 3 years, 5 days
- 2 years, 3 days
- 1 year, 5 days
- 5 years, 1 day
Correct Answer

A. 1 year, 5 days

Explanation

Frozen products typically have a longer shelf life compared to platelet products, which need to be stored at room temperature. The given answer of "1 year, 5 days" suggests that frozen products can be stored for up to one year after the date of collection, while platelet products can only be stored for up to five days at room temperature. This shorter shelf life for platelet products is likely due to their higher susceptibility to bacterial contamination and degradation.

Rate this question:

Acceptable blood donor blood pressure (BP) is _______
- 180/100
- 150/200
- 150/95
- 185/115
Correct Answer

A. 180/100

Explanation

The acceptable blood donor blood pressure is 180/100. This means that the systolic pressure is 180 mmHg and the diastolic pressure is 100 mmHg. Blood pressure within this range is considered acceptable for blood donation as it falls within the normal range for blood pressure readings.

Rate this question:
48.

Acceptable blood donor temp is:
- 101.2 degrees F or 39.1 degrees C
- 99.5 degrees F or 37.5 degrees C
- 84.2 degrees F or 31.1 degrees C
- None of the above
Correct Answer

A. 99.5 degrees F or 37.5 degrees C

Explanation

The acceptable blood donor temperature is 99.5 degrees F or 37.5 degrees C. This is the correct answer because it falls within the normal range of body temperature for a healthy individual. A temperature of 101.2 degrees F or 39.1 degrees C is considered a fever and would disqualify someone from donating blood. Similarly, a temperature of 84.2 degrees F or 31.1 degrees C is abnormally low and would also disqualify a potential donor. Therefore, the only acceptable temperature for a blood donor is 99.5 degrees F or 37.5 degrees C.

Rate this question:
49.

Acceptable blood donor pulse is:
- 100-150 bpm
- 75-125 bpm
- 50-100 bpm
- None of the above
Correct Answer

A. 50-100 bpm

Explanation

The acceptable blood donor pulse is 50-100 bpm. This range indicates a normal resting heart rate, which is important for ensuring that the donor is in good cardiovascular health. A pulse rate below 50 bpm may indicate bradycardia, a condition where the heart beats too slowly, while a pulse rate above 100 bpm may indicate tachycardia, a condition where the heart beats too fast. Both conditions can be concerning for blood donation as they may indicate underlying health issues or physiological stress on the heart. Therefore, a pulse rate between 50-100 bpm is considered acceptable for blood donation.
