1) Choose one of the following patients:
a) Mr. Smith, Mr. Jones, Mr. Green, Ms. Brown= Ms. Brown
b) Using the information shown in Figure 1 on Blood type and the data recorded in Table 1, What
agglutinogens are present on the patient’s RBC’s? she did not have any agglutinogens
c) What ABO agglutinin(s) is/are found in the patient’s Plasma? Homozygous Recessive ii
d) What is the patient’s blood type? O-
e) If this patient needed a transfusion, what blood type(s) could this patient safely receive?
Ms.Brown could only receive O during a transfusion
f) What blood type(s) could safely receive this patient’s blood?O, A, B, AB
2) Below is the information representing the blood type analysis of a new patient (patient X). From the
information obtained, fill out the medical technologist report.
A: Agglutination Medical technologist’s report
B: No Agglutination ABO Type: O
Rh: Agglutination Rh Type: -
3) Compare and Contrast agglutinogens and agglutinins. In the diagram show at least 2 similarities and
2 differences.
Agglutinogens Agglutinins

2. Differences Similarities Differences
Antigen related- stimulate the Found in blood-protein Causes particle to form a mass-
formation of agglutinin substance antibody related
4) Pretend you went with your class on a medical career field trip to a local hospital. One of the stops
on the visit was to the hospital’s blood lab. The medical technologist at this stop gave a
demonstration of how blood types are determined. Your job is to write a paragraph for the school
newspaper on the visit to the blood lab, summarizing what you’ve learned about how ABO/Rh blood
groups are determined. Write a paragraph and include the title.

5) List at least 3 situations where blood typing could be used.
a) Blood donation
b) Transfusion
c) Transplant
6) Define Erythroblastosis Fetalis. Severe Anemia and in new born babies
a) Describe the sequence of events that lead to this condition. Arrises from possibilities that
mothers antibodies will attack the fetuses red blood cells
b) What might be some benefits if the medical profession developed a shot or vaccination that
could desensitize an Rh+ situation?A decrease in anemic new borns and a wider range of people
to receive varieties of blood.
7) You are a type A eryhthorocyte placing an ad in the personals and you are seeking a compatible
mate for a long lasting transfusion. Create an ad to be submitted to the newspaper.
I DONATE! I will donate type and B blood to whomever is in need.It must be A or O blood if I do not
receive the specific kind, my blood will clot and there is a chance of death! So if in need please
contact me!
8) Another important diagnostic tool used by medical technologist is determining a patient’s blood cell
count, for both red blood cells and white blood cells. When this procedure is performed, one
technique used is to take multiple samples and calculate the average. This method of multiple
sampling is a standard procedure in scientific and medical investigations. Discuss why this method is
important in blood typing. The method of multiple sampling is important in the area of retrieving a
wider variety of blood results at a short amount of time. With more results comes more discoveries
and answers to possible diagnosis in treatments and infections.
9) Each year thousands of people contract blood borne diseases. What could be done in a clinical
blood lab to minimize the risk of obtaining or spreading a blood borne disease?In minimizing the risk
of spreading blood borne disease, those in contact with the exposed blood should wear gloves,
masks,slippers, and any other preventative safety attire. When finished, all things should be
disposed in any special waste containers.
10) In a short paragraph, identify what you think may be the next important breakthrough, milestone or
discovery in the study of blood and blood diseases and explain why. I believe that most important

3. thing to be done should be that of a discovery in which prevention of death occurs. Many people die
due to clotting in the arteries, their bodies rejecting transplants, blood ect. There should be some
form of way to trickingthe body into believing that such foreign object is of his or her personal. Less
deaths and the waiting list for a correct matching organ would shorten tremendously; saving too
many if not just the right amount of lives and creating second chances.
