An enzyme pre-treated panel has been prepared to test with your patient’s plasma which contains anti-S and anti-K. Which set of reaction patterns would you expect to see as a result of testing after enzyme treatment of the red cells?

Refer to PANEL C for this question. This is a 2 part question!!!! a) After performing the rule-out step on PANEL C list ALL possible antibody/ies present. No partial credit. 1 pts b) If the criteria is not satisfied for rule in or rule out, identify the selected cell phenotype you would be searching for (no need to identify any specific cell from the panels provided, just what cell phenotype you will need to confirm (rule in or rule out) the possible antibodies present) 1 pts   

Refer to PANEL E for this question. Anti-E and Anti-K  are most likely present in the patient sample. Which of the following statements is true?  

A patient has anti-E and anti-S confirmed in their plasma.   The physician has ordered four units to be crossmatched.  The frequency of the E antigen in the population is 28% and the frequency of the S antigen is 55%.  How many units would you need to screen to find four to crossmatch?

Why are check cells are added to all negative reactions in the AHG phase of antibody ID testing?

Which type of traumatic brain injury (TBI) is characterized by damage to the brain’s nerve fibers due to rapid acceleration or deceleration, commonly seen in car accidents or sports injuries?

So far Glenda has made an 93, 91, 88, and an 85 on the tests in her history class. Glenda desperately wants to make at least a 90 in the course. Assuming that the tests and the final are weighted the same amount, create an inequality to determine what she must make on the final to get an A in the course.  (Hint: Let x be the grade for her final exam and average the 5 test scores.)

Consider the following inequality:   Select the correct interval and the correct number line that would correspond with the inequality.
