Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Since the patient is AB-positive, they can receive any blood type, making option B the correct choice. AB-positive individuals have both A and B antigens on their red blood cells and do not have antibodies against either A or B, so they can receive blood from donors with all ABO blood types. However, it's important to note that they can only receive Rh-positive blood, so any Rh-negative blood would not be compatible.
