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.
