Question 3 of 18

ABO matching of donor and recipient is unnecessary in the patient receiving:

Whole blood.

Platelets.

Packed red blood cells (PRBCs).

Fresh frozen plasma.

Leukocyte-poor red blood cells.

Spontaneous bleeding is unusual when platelet counts are more than 20,000/mm3. Platelet counts less than 10,000/mm3 may cause spontaneous bleeding. HLA matching may be performed for platelets in special circumstances. ABO matching is unnecessary.
