Question
A patient has a blood type of A-negative. Which of the following statements about the patient’s blood plasma is most accurate?Group of answer choicesThe patient's blood plasma contains Anti-A antibodies and Anti-D antibodies.The patient's blood plasma contains Anti-B antibodies and Anti-D antibodies.The patient's blood plasma does not contain Anti-A, Anti-B, or Anti-D antibodies.The patient's blood plasma contains only Anti-D antibodies.
Solution
The most accurate statement about the patient's blood plasma is: "The patient's blood plasma contains Anti-B antibodies and Anti-D antibodies."
Here's why:
-
Blood type A means that the person has A antigens on the surface of their red blood cells, and Anti-B antibodies in their blood plasma.
-
The negative in A-negative refers to the Rh factor. If a person is Rh negative, it means they do not have Rh (D) antigens on their red blood cells. Therefore, their blood plasma contains Anti-D antibodies.
So, a person with A-negative blood type would have Anti-B and Anti-D antibodies in their blood plasma.
