One of a client's treatment options involves an autologous stem cell transplant from cord blood. What is the best source of this blood?
1. Stored cord blood from a sibling who is a transfusion match
2. Stored cord blood from any relative who is a transfusion match
3. Stored cord blood from any donor who is a transfusion match
4. Stored cord blood from any donor of the same gender who is a transfusion match
1
Rationale 1: A sibling is a first-degree relative, so this is a good source.
Rationale 2: Autologous transfusions must come from a first- or second-degree relative.
Rationale 3: Transfusions from unrelated donors are allogeneic, not autologous.
Rationale 4: Gender is not a factor. This statement describes an allogeneic, not autologous, transfusion.
