1. What is the primary purpose of blood banking?
A. Prevent anemia
B. Ensure safe transfusion of blood products
C. Diagnose hematologic disorders
, D. Treat autoimmune diseases
Ensuring safe transfusion is the cornerstone of blood banking
practices.
2. Which blood component contains the highest concentration of
coagulation factors?
A. Packed red blood cells
B. Platelets
C. Fresh frozen plasma
D. Cryoprecipitate
Fresh frozen plasma is rich in all coagulation factors.
3. The ABO blood group system is based on:
A. The presence or absence of A and B antigens on red blood cells
B. Rh factor only
C. Antibody types in plasma
D. HLA typing
The ABO system classifies blood by A and B antigens on the RBC
surface.
4. What is the most immunogenic blood group antigen after ABO?
A. Kell
B. Duffy
C. Rh(D)
, D. Kidd
Rh(D) is second only to ABO in immunogenicity.
5. The DAT (Direct Antiglobulin Test) detects:
A. Free antibodies in the serum
B. Antibodies or complement attached to RBCs in vivo
C. Hemoglobin levels
D. Platelet count
DAT identifies in vivo coating of RBCs, often indicating
autoimmune hemolysis.
6. The indirect antiglobulin test is used for:
A. Detecting antigens on donor RBCs
B. Detecting antibodies in the recipient’s serum
C. Measuring hematocrit
D. Crossmatching donor platelets
IAT detects unexpected antibodies before transfusion.
7. What type of antibodies are naturally occurring in the ABO system?
A. IgG
B. IgM
C. IgA
D. IgE
ABO antibodies are typically IgM, reacting at room temperature.
