Chapter 42, Problem 2Q
Summary Introduction
To determine:
A woman with type A, Rh-negative blood can have a healthy baby with type B Rh-positive blood. To analyze the reason why there is no antibody production against the Rh antigen.
Introduction:
Rh factors are antigens that are found on the surface of the red blood cells that also contribute to determining the blood type.Rh incompatibility is a phenomenon that occurs when a mother's Rh factor is different from that of the Rh factor of the fetus that leads to a condition named Erythroblastosis fetalis. This is characterized by the breakdown of red blood cells of the fetus a serious disorder.

Mrs. Xexy Lucero, GO, 25 years old whose blood type is O- (negative) states, "My partner is AB+ (positive)!" Mrs. Xexy questions Nurse Zasha about what blood type their baby will have. Which of the following blood types should Nurse Zasha advise Mrs. Xexy that the baby may have? (Select all that apply)
a. Your baby could be type AB- (negative)."
b. Your baby could be type O+ (positive)."
c. Your baby could be type B- (negative)
d. Your baby could be type O- (negative)"
e. Your baby could be type At (positive)"
A parent has type O blood what blood types would his/ her children have and are there any blood types his/her children can't have?
If a man with type O blood has a child with a woman who has type AB blood, what are the possible blood types for the child?
