Plasma is used most often in patients __________________.
-
With massive blood loss only
-
Who is currently bleeding
-
Who needs clotting and/or has protein deficiency
-
Who needs clotting only
-
Who has anemia
Correct Answer
A. Who needs clotting and/or has protein deficiencyExplanation
Plasma is used most often in patients who need clotting and/or have protein deficiency. Plasma contains clotting factors and proteins that are essential for blood clotting. Patients who have a deficiency in clotting factors or proteins may require plasma transfusion to help promote blood clotting and prevent excessive bleeding. Additionally, plasma transfusion can also provide the necessary proteins that are lacking in patients with protein deficiency. Therefore, plasma is commonly used in patients who require clotting support and have protein deficiency.Rate this question:

With massive blood loss only
-
Who is currently bleeding
-
Who needs clotting and/or has protein deficiency
-
Who needs clotting only
-
Who has anemia
Correct Answer
A. Who needs clotting onlyExplanation
Cryoprecipitate is a blood product that contains concentrated amounts of clotting factors. It is used in patients who need clotting only, meaning they have a deficiency in clotting factors and require supplementation to promote blood coagulation. This can be seen in patients with certain bleeding disorders or those undergoing surgical procedures where clotting is crucial. Cryoprecipitate is not typically used in patients with massive blood loss, ongoing bleeding, protein deficiency, or anemia, as these conditions require different treatments.Rate this question:

Platelettes is used most often in patients __________________.
-
With massive blood loss only
-
Who is currently bleeding
-
Who needs clotting and/or has protein deficiency
-
Who needs clotting only
-
Who has anemia
Correct Answer
A. Who is currently bleedingExplanation
Platelets are small cell fragments in the blood that play a crucial role in blood clotting. They help to form a plug at the site of a damaged blood vessel, preventing further bleeding. Therefore, platelets are most often used in patients who are currently bleeding, as they can help to stop the bleeding and promote clotting. Platelets may not be as beneficial in patients with massive blood loss or anemia, as these conditions may require other interventions such as blood transfusions or addressing the underlying cause of the anemia.Rate this question:

When giving blood, the first _______ mL should be given over ______ minutes to ensure there is less likely going to be a life-threatening event if the patient has a reaction to the blood.
-
30 mL; 20 min
-
25 mL; 15 min
-
15 mL; 30 min
Correct Answer
A. 25 mL; 15 minExplanation
When giving blood, it is important to administer the first dose slowly to minimize the risk of a life-threatening reaction. Giving 25 mL over 15 minutes allows for a gradual introduction of the blood into the patient's system, giving healthcare providers enough time to monitor for any adverse reactions and take appropriate action if necessary. This cautious approach helps ensure the safety of the patient during the transfusion process.Rate this question:

Cryoprecipitate requires ___________ compatibility.
-
ABO
-
RH
-
All of the above
-
None of the above
Correct Answer
A. ABOExplanation
Cryoprecipitate requires ABO compatibility because it contains specific clotting factors that are derived from human blood plasma. ABO compatibility ensures that the recipient's immune system does not react negatively to the transfusion, reducing the risk of adverse reactions. Rh compatibility is not necessary for cryoprecipitate transfusion as it does not contain Rh antigens. Therefore, the correct answer is ABO compatibility.Rate this question:
-
- 13.
Plasma requires ___________ compatibility.
-
ABO
-
RH
-
All of the above
-
None of the above
Correct Answer
A. All of the aboveExplanation
Plasma requires ABO compatibility because ABO blood types must match in order to prevent adverse reactions when transfusing plasma. It also requires RH compatibility because the Rh factor must be compatible to avoid potential complications. Therefore, the correct answer is "All of the above" because both ABO and RH compatibility are necessary when dealing with plasma transfusions.Rate this question:
-
- 14.
Platelettes require ___________ compatibility.
-
ABO
-
RH
-
All of the above
-
None of the above
Correct Answer
A. RHExplanation
Platelettes require RH compatibility. This means that the Rh factor, a protein found on the surface of red blood cells, needs to be compatible between the donor and recipient in order to prevent adverse reactions. A mismatch in Rh compatibility can lead to the recipient's immune system attacking the platelettes, causing them to be destroyed and potentially leading to complications. Therefore, ensuring RH compatibility is essential for successful platelette transfusions.Rate this question:
-

PRBCs require ___________ compatibility.
-
ABO
-
RH
-
All of the above
-
None of the above
Correct Answer
A. All of the aboveExplanation
PRBCs (Packed Red Blood Cells) require ABO compatibility, which means that the blood type of the donor must be compatible with the blood type of the recipient. ABO compatibility ensures that the recipient's immune system will not attack the donor blood cells, leading to potentially life-threatening reactions. Additionally, PRBCs also require RH compatibility, which refers to the presence or absence of the Rh antigen on the red blood cells. RH compatibility is important to prevent Rh incompatibility reactions, especially in pregnant women. Therefore, the correct answer is "All of the above" as both ABO and RH compatibility are necessary for PRBC transfusions.Rate this question:
-
- 16.
Whole blood requires ___________ compatibility.
-
ABO
-
RH
-
All of the above
-
None of the above
Correct Answer
A. All of the aboveExplanation
Whole blood requires ABO compatibility because the ABO blood group system is based on the presence or absence of antigens A and B on the surface of red blood cells. A person with type A blood can receive blood from a type A or type O donor, while a person with type B blood can receive blood from a type B or type O donor. RH compatibility is also necessary because the Rh factor is another antigen found on the surface of red blood cells. A person who is Rh positive can receive blood from either Rh positive or Rh negative donors, while a person who is Rh negative can only receive blood from Rh negative donors. Therefore, whole blood transfusions require compatibility in both ABO and RH blood groups.Rate this question:
