Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Of those situations listed, ABO blood type errors from patient misidentification account for the largest number of deaths.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
An immediate transfusion reaction, often because of ABO incompatibility, is most often the result of human error. Erythroblastosis, whether because of ABO or anti-D, occurs as a result of a maternal-fetal incompatibility. A delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction occurs as a result of undetected alloantibodies, where the level of antibody was below the level of sensitivity at the time of transfusion.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
