Final answer:

If testing or previous history indicates that a patient has a clinically significant antibody, you need to give an Antigen negative donor.

Step-by-step explanation:

If testing or previous history indicates that a patient has a clinically significant antibody, the type of donor you need to give is Antigen negative.

This is because you want to avoid any antigens that could cause an immune reaction in the patient.
