Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
When only complement is present on the membrane, giving a positive direct antiglobulin test using monospecific Coombs sera, a cold agglutinin is most likely present. Agglutination of red blood cells (RBCs) would be seen on the blood provided it is at room temperature.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Of the items listed, only IgE antibodies have not been associated with excess red cell destruction.

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.
