The nurse is preparing a transfusion for a client with type AB blood. Which of the following blood types is considered the universal donor?
A) Type A
B) Type B
C) Type O
D) Type AB
C
Feedback:
Type O blood may be considered a universal donor, because it does not typically have the ABO antigens. Type AB blood may be considered a universal recipient because it has both A and B antigens, but does not have the anti-A or anti-B antibodies. In reality, blood needs to be correctly typed and crossmatched before transfusion.
