Answer to Question 1

Ans:
D

Feedback:

The client's blood type is A- and would necessitate A- or O- donor blood. Other types would induce a transfusion reaction.

Albumin plays a central role in the maintenance of osmotic pressure and fluid balance. Immune function, acid-base balance, and thermoregulation are not functions of albumin.
