Question

B. Choose the correct reason(s) for each.

1. Blood group matching is essential before blood transfusion.
(a) Mismatch may lead to clumping of cells in recipient's blood
(b) Mismatch may lead to clumping of cells in donor's blood
(c) Mismatch may lead to death
(d) (a) and (c)​

Answer 1

Answer:-

(d) BOTH A & C

Explanation:-

• Blood groups and matching the groups before blood transfusion is called blood group compatibility testing.
• The matching is necessary to avoid incompatibility between the blood groups of the recipient and the donor.
• Hence they should be checked for their blood groups and their compatibility or matching must be confirmed.
• A small mistake or carelessness during a transfusion can even cause the life of the patient.
• Blood groups and matching are the prime factors to be considered before blood transfusion.
• Knowing under what conditions blood transfusion is done and what precautions to be taken before blood transfusion is necessary.
• Blood group matching is a must before blood transfusion as giving the correct blood to a patient during a transfusion is vitally important.
• This means making sure that the donor’s blood is compatible with the patient’s blood, to minimise reactions during a transfusion and avoid any catastrophic consequences.
