Answer to Question 1

ANS: F
Allogeneic blood is that drawn from one individual for transfusion into another. It must be compatible (i.e., not cause a reaction). Therefore, blood typing and crossmatching are essential to determine compatibility between donor and recipient.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: T
Blood is not salvaged if Avitene has been used for hemostasis. The Avitene may not wash out when red blood cells are processed, and it may predispose the patient to disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) or a respiratory complication.
