Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Some patients who know in advance that they will need blood can donate their own blood for transfusion. This is called autologous transfusion or autotransfusion.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Before any blood can be given to a client, it must be determined that the blood of the donor is compatible with that of the client. The process of determining compatibility between blood specimens is cross-matching. The examination to determine a person's blood type is called typing.
