Question

Which, if any, of the blood samples tested can be patient with Type B+ blood recieve?

Answer 1

Answer:

Type B+ can only receive blood from a donor that has blood type B and AB with Rhesus positive or negative.

Explanation:

The blood group system classification is based on the presence or the absence of antigens on the surface of the red blood cells. thus the blood group system is divided into four main blood group types/antigens present. During blood transfusion, the donated blood must be compatible with the patient blood type.

In blood transfusion, patient who is Rh positive can receive blood from donor who is Rh negative, but those with negative blood types cannot receive from anyone with a positive blood type but only the Rh- blood.

Donors with blood type A can donate blood to recipients with blood types A and AB

Donors with blood type B can give blood to recipients with blood types B and AB

Donors with blood type AB can donate to recipients with blood type AB only

Donors with blood type O can give blood to recipients with all blood types A, B, AB and O.

Answer 2

Answer:

Type B+ can only receive blood from the blood group B+, B-, O+ and O-

Explanation:

Blood group refers to the feature of the red blood cells of an individual with regards to antibody presence or absence or inherited antigens. The nature of the antigens is dependent on the type of blood group.

The blood group is divided into four categories A, B, AB and O.

The B+ blood group has the lowest prevalent rate in the world.

The B+ can receive blood from its fellow blood group such as B+ and B- . Blood group O is regarded as the universal donor which means it can donate to any blood group which they can receive blood from people with blood group O+ and O- .
