Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Erythrocyte concentrations of 2,3-DPG in banked blood decrease over time. After a week of storage, the 2,3-DPG level may be less than one-third of the normal value.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The impact of changes in blood pH on hemoglobin affinity for O2 is called the Bohr effect. As shown in Figure 12-10, the Bohr effect alters the position of the HbO2 dissociation curve. A low pH (acidity) shifts the curve to the right, decreasing Hb affinity for O2 and thus O2 saturation.

Stevens-Johnson syndrome and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis syndrome are life-threatening reactions that can result in death. Complications include permanent blindness, dry-eye syndrome, lung damage, photophobia, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, permanent loss of nail beds, scarring of mucous membranes, arthritis, and chronic fatigue syndrome. Many patients' pores scar shut, causing them to retain heat.
