Chapter 18, Problem 2SA
Summary Introduction
To answer:
Why the hemolytic disease is not susceptible to a newborn with Rh- born to a Rh+ve mother.
Introduction:
Each person has different blood types when compared with others. Blood grouping is based on the ABO test and Rh test. People carry any one type of antigen in their red blood cells. The people with A antigens are grouped under A and people with B antigens are placed under B. The person with no antigen is placed under O group. Rh antigens are present in the red blood cells of the human. About 85% of humans have Rh+ve and 15% have Rh–ve antigens.

Why might erythroblastosis fetalis occur when an
Rh- mother becomes pregnant with a second Rh+
baby (after exposure to the previous Rh+ baby's
blood)?
A) Erythroblastosis fetalis can only occur
when an Rh+ mother becomes pregnant
with an Rh- baby.
B) After primary exposure, if the Rh- mother
has an Rh+ baby, then antibodies the
mom produces can cross the placenta and
attack the baby's blood.
C) The Rh- mother always produces
antibodies to the Rh+ blood, so
erythroblastosis fetalis is a condition that
can happen to any Rh+ baby (first or
subsequent).
What will happen if an Rh-negative person receives a transfusion of Rh-positive blood?
If a patient will receive a blood transfusion that is not matched to the patient’s blood type, what will happen? Explain briefly.
1) six hundred blood donors donate at a particular clinic over a 5-day period. the distribution of blood types and Rh factors as followed
AB-positive- 24
AB-negative- 6
2) what is the probability that a randomly selected blood donor from this group .....
C) Has type O blood and is Rh-negative
d) has type O blood or is Rh-negative
e) has type O blood, given that they are Rh-negative
f) is Rh-negative, given that they have type o blood
g) are having type o blood and being Rh-negative independent? Explain.
h) are having type A blood and being Rh-negative independent? explain.
