Write up
Read the following scenario, and address the questions in a 2 page analysis. This assignment helps demonstrate your mastery of objectives 2 & 3 of the course.
An O-negative person received three units of O-negative blood 6 months ago for a chronic GI bleed. The person did not have a history of any previous transfusions and now needs two more blood units for the same condition. The person’s plasma was cross-matched with the red blood cells from two O-negative donors. One unit is compatible, and one is incompatible. Antibody identification reveals that the person developed an anti-C antibody. Where did this antibody come from, and why was one of the units incompatible?
Use APA-formatting and include a title page and references page (which do not count towards your page count). The Gangwish Library provides a guide to APA writing and excellent resources. In addition to the textbook, include at least one scholarly, peer-reviewed reference (from the course learning resources, library databases, or other peer-reviewed sources) that substantiates your assertions. Please note, that blog posts or other non-peer reviewed sources are not considered scholarly.
