Final answer:

T+S/ABORh refers to Type and Screen/Blood Type, which involves testing a person's blood sample to identify their specific blood type and screen for antibodies.

Step-by-step explanation:

T+S/ABORh refers to Type and Screen/Blood Type. When a person requires a blood transfusion, it is important to determine their blood type to ensure compatibility with the donor's blood. The type and screen process involves testing the patient's blood sample for the presence of A, B, and Rh antigens using commercially prepared antibodies. This helps to identify the specific blood type and screen for any antibodies that may cause a reaction during transfusion.
