Question

Which blood type can be transfused into a patient who has blood type A–?

Answer 1

Option D: O-

Step-by-step explanation:

They can also receive blood type A-, but that's not one of the options on the test.

Answer 2

For a person with blood type A- (A negative), they can be transfused with either blood type A negative , or blood type O negative.

This is because any other blood type will immediately be rejected by their body.

A person with blood type A negative has got antibodies against any other blood type which has a rhesus positive factor as well as antibodies against any other blood type of a different group such as B and AB, even if they are rhesus negative.

Therefore because of the rhesus negative factor, a person with blood type A negative can only be transfused with rhesus negative .
