AMT MLS Domain 7: Blood Banking and Transfusion Services Welcome to your AMT MLS Domain 7: Blood Banking and Transfusion Services 1. AMT MLS: Blood Banking and Transfusion Services In the context of blood transfusion, what is the primary concern when a patient has an anti-Jka antibody? Delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction Immediate hemolytic transfusion reaction Allergic transfusion reaction Anaphylactic transfusion reaction None 2. AMT MLS: Blood Banking and Transfusion Services What is the significance of detecting a Bombay phenotype (hh) in a patient requiring a blood transfusion? The patient can receive O negative blood without any concern. The patient lacks H antigen and can only receive blood from another Bombay phenotype donor. The patient can receive any type of blood as they lack common antigens. The patient is at a higher risk of developing anti-A1 antibodies. None 3. AMT MLS: Blood Banking and Transfusion Services Which of the following is true regarding the Rh null phenotype? It is characterized by the lack of all Rh antigens but has no clinical significance. Individuals with Rh null phenotype can safely receive Rh positive blood. The Rh null phenotype can lead to a compensatory increase in other blood group antigens. Individuals with Rh null phenotype are immune to developing antibodies against Rh antigens. None 4. AMT MLS: Blood Banking and Transfusion Services In the context of transfusion medicine, what is the primary reason for performing an elution? To remove antibodies attached to the patient's red cells To identify the specific blood group antigen present on red cells To determine the volume of plasma in a blood sample To assess the viability of transfused red cells None 5. AMT MLS: Blood Banking and Transfusion Services What is the primary concern when a patient with a positive Direct Antiglobulin Test (DAT) requires a blood transfusion? The patient may have an autoimmune hemolytic anemia. The patient is likely to experience an anaphylactic transfusion reaction. The patient will have an increased risk of fluid overload. The patient can only receive irradiated blood products. None 6. AMT MLS: Blood Banking and Transfusion Services In transfusion medicine, what is the primary purpose of using leukoreduced blood products? To prevent febrile non-hemolytic transfusion reactions To increase the oxygen-carrying capacity of red blood cells To reduce the risk of viral transmission To enhance the platelet function in the recipient None 7. AMT MLS: Blood Banking and Transfusion Services Which of the following is a possible complication of an ABO-incompatible blood transfusion? Graft-versus-host disease Hypothermia Acute hemolytic transfusion reaction Citrate toxicity None 8. AMT MLS: Blood Banking and Transfusion Services What is the primary purpose of crossmatching in blood transfusion? To check the compatibility of donor and recipient plasma To ensure the recipient's antibodies will not react with the donor's red cells To confirm the blood type of the donor blood To screen for infectious diseases in the donor blood None 9. AMT MLS: Blood Banking and Transfusion Services In blood banking, what is the significance of detecting a weak D phenotype during Rh typing? Individuals with a weak D phenotype should always receive Rh-negative blood. Weak D individuals can safely receive Rh-positive blood without the risk of alloimmunization. Weak D phenotype is clinically irrelevant and does not require any special consideration. Individuals with a weak D phenotype are at high risk of hemolytic disease of the newborn. None 10. AMT MLS: Blood Banking and Transfusion Services What is the primary purpose of the antiglobulin phase in crossmatching? To detect the presence of cold agglutinins To identify ABO incompatibilities To detect clinically significant antibodies that may cause a delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction To confirm the absence of HLA antibodies None 1 out of 10 Time is Up!
