The maximum volume of blood that can be collected in a whole blood allogeneic donation is 10.5 mL/kg of body weight, as per standard blood donation guidelines.

Question 2

The AABB Standards require a donor's temperature to be less than or equal to
A)98.0° F (36.7° C)
B)98.7° F (37.0° C)
C)99.0° F (37.2° C)
D)99.5° F (37.5° C)

Accepted Answer

The AABB Standards require a donor's temperature to be less than or equal to 99.5° F (37.5° C) to ensure the donor is in good health and to minimize the risk of transmitting infections.

A)33% (0.33)
B)38% (0.38)
C)40% (0.40)
D)42% (0.42)

The hematocrit must be at least 38% (0.38) for all allogeneic blood donations, except for automated double red blood cell donations, to ensure the donor has enough red blood cells to safely donate.

Question 4

A potential donor who has had sexual contact with someone who has used a clotting factor concentrate manufactured from human plasma should be deferred for how many months?
A)6
B)12
C)18
D)24

Accepted Answer

According to the FDA guidelines, a potential donor who has had sexual contact with someone who has used a clotting factor concentrate manufactured from human plasma should be deferred for 12 months. This is because clotting factor concentrates carry a risk of transmitting blood-borne diseases, such as HIV and hepatitis, to recipients of the plasma-derived products. Therefore, a 12-month deferral period is necessary to ensure that any potential infectious agents are cleared from the donor's system before they can donate blood.

C)68-75.2° F (20-24° C)
D)75.2-89.6° F (24-32° C)

Accepted Answer

Platelets should be stored at room temperature, which is approximately 20-24° C (68-75.2° F), to maintain their viability and function.

Question 6

What would be the deferral period for an individual who has been taking insulin from cows (bovine or beef insulin)?
A)6 months
B)3 years
C)Indefinite
D)Permanent

Accepted Answer

Question 7

Which of the following organizations licenses blood centers in the United States?
A)AABB (American Association of Blood Banks)
B)ARC (American Red Cross)
C)CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)
D)FDA (Food and Drug Administration)

Accepted Answer

The FDA is responsible for regulating and licensing blood centers in the United States as part of its oversight of the blood supply. The AABB and ARC are important organizations in the blood banking and transfusion field, but they do not have the authority to license blood centers. The CDC is also involved in monitoring blood safety and investigating outbreaks of bloodborne diseases, but it does not license blood centers.

Question 8

Which medication would result in a permanent donor deferral?
A)Accutane©
B)Avodart©
C)Proscar©
D)Tegison©

Accepted Answer

Tegison (generic name etretinate) is a medication used to treat severe psoriasis and other skin disorders. It is known to cause birth defects and can stay in the body for up to three years after treatment. For this reason, anyone who has taken Tegison is permanently deferred from donating blood or plasma. Accutane (isotretinoin), Avodart (dutasteride), and Proscar (finasteride) are also medications that can cause temporary or indefinite deferral, but not necessarily permanent deferral.

Question 9

Which document was developed to ensure that the donor gets a consistent message and that the questions asked are thorough and meet AABB Standards as well as FDA regulations?
A)DDD
B)DDR
C)DHQ
D)DHR

Accepted Answer

The Donor History Questionnaire (DHQ) was developed to ensure that the donor gets a consistent message and that the questions asked are thorough and meet AABB Standards as well as FDA regulations.

Question 10

Autologous donations are defined as donations
A)made by donors for their own use
B)made by donors for a specific recipient
C)made by pheresis donors for any recipient
D)made by pheresis donors for a specific recipient

Accepted Answer

Autologous donations are made by donors for their own use, such as in the case of planned surgeries where the donor donates their own blood for transfusion during or after the procedure.

Question 11

Plasma collected by automation may be donated once every
A)one week
B)two weeks
C)three weeks
D)four weeks

Accepted Answer

Plasma collected by automation can be donated once every four weeks, as it allows for enough time for the body to replace the plasma that was collected.

Question 12

The AABB Standards require a donor's systolic pressure to be less than or equal to
A)160 mm Hg
B)170 mm Hg
C)180 mm Hg

Question 13

What is the most common type of reaction in blood donors?
A)Varicose
B)Variolar
C)Vasospasm
D)Vasovagal

Accepted Answer

Vasovagal reaction is the most common type of reaction in blood donors, accounting for about 70% of all adverse reactions. It is a reflex reaction caused by the stimulation of the vagus nerve, leading to a decrease in heart rate and blood pressure, which can result in fainting or dizziness. Varicose, variolar, and vasospasm are less common reactions.

Question 14

During the informed consent process,a donor must be made aware of which of the following?
A)Hemoglobin or hematocrit result
B)Foreseeable risks of donation

B)12.5 g/dL (125 g/L)
C)13.3 g/dL (133 g/L)
D)13.6 g/dL (136 g/L)

Accepted Answer

The minimum hemoglobin level for an allogeneic whole blood donation is 12.5 g/dL (125 g/L) according to the AABB (American Association of Blood Banks) standards. This is to ensure that the donor is not anemic and can safely donate blood without compromising their health.

Question 18

Which type of deferral means the prospective donor is unable to give blood to someone else for an unspecified period of time due to current regulatory requirements?
A)Flexible
B)Indefinite
C)Permanent
D)Temporary

Accepted Answer

Indefinite deferral means that the prospective donor is unable to give blood to someone else for an unspecified period of time due to current regulatory requirements. This could be due to travel to certain countries or other factors that may affect the safety of donated blood.

A)AABB (American Association of Blood Banks)
B)ARC (American Red Cross)
C)CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)

A)10
B)14
C)21
D)30

Accepted Answer

Donors are deferred for a minimum of 21 days after a smallpox vaccination. This is to ensure that any potential side effects or adverse reactions have resolved before the donor is eligible to donate blood or plasma. Other factors that may affect the length of deferral include the donor's overall health and any history of recent illness or exposure to infectious diseases.
