A physician orders a direct anti-globulin test (DAT) on a jaundiced newborn baby. The DAT is weakly positive. The baby types B positive and the mother's record shows a type of O positive. What is the most probable explanation for the baby's condition? OA. the baby has hemolytic disease of the newborn due to anti-D O B. the positive DAT result is erroneous OC. the jaundice is due to an IgM, anti-A O D. the baby has hemolytic disease of the newborn caused by anti-B QUESTION 8 The washing of red cells prior to performing a direct antiglobulin test is crucial because O A. it eliminates false negative results. O B. it removes excess protein that could interfere with testing C. it washes away antibodies bound to the cells so anti-human globulin can bind. O D.it eliminates the possibility of complement being detected. QUESTION 9 At the end of an antiglobulin test, Coombs' control cells are added to the negative tests, If agglutination occurs. this means O A. the test is valid. O B. the antiglobulin reagent was neutralized. OC.the cells were not washed thoroughly O D. the control cells are contaminated. QUESTION 10 Which of the following conditions could be indicated by a positive DAT? OA. hemolytic anemia O B. autoimmune disease OC transfusion reactions O D. all of the above

for the baby's condition?
OA. the baby has hemolytic disease of the newborn due to anti-D
O B. the positive DAT result is erroneous
OC. the jaundice is due to an IgM, anti-A
O D. the baby has hemolytic disease of the newborn caused by anti-B
QUESTION 8
The washing of red cells prior to performing a direct antiglobulin test is crucial because
OA. it eliminates false negative results.
O B. it removes excess protein that could interfere with testing
C. it washes away antibodies bound to the cells so anti-human globulin can bind.
O D.it eliminates the possibility of complement being detected.
QUESTION 9
At the end of an antiglobulin test, Coombs' control cells are added to the negative tests. If agglutination occurs.
this means
