Question 1 of 5
For a patient who is blood type AB, which blood product can they receive?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A patient with blood type AB has AB antigens on their red blood cells. This means they can only receive blood products that are compatible with these antigens.
Choice A is incorrect because an AB patient cannot receive plasma from a type B donor due to the antibodies present in type B plasma.
Choice B is incorrect because an AB patient cannot receive whole blood from a type A donor as it contains incompatible antigens.
Choice C is the correct answer because an AB patient can receive packed RBCs from a type O donor. Type O donors have no A or B antigens, making their blood compatible for transfusion to recipients with any blood type.
Therefore, choices A and B are incorrect, and the correct choice is C.
