Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The presence of A antigens on the surface of red blood cells indicates that the patient has type A blood. The absence of B antigens (since it is not mentioned in the blood type) means the patient would not produce anti-B antibodies. Rh status is not indicated in the blood type, so it cannot be determined if the cells lack Rh antigens or not. The patient should ideally receive a transfusion of A⁺ blood, but other compatible blood types may be accepted based on medical necessity.
