**Question 18**

Joe has type A blood. For blood transfusions, the donor blood must not have antigens that would be attacked by the recipient’s antibodies. A person with type A blood will have anti-B antibodies, so they can safely receive blood that does not have B antigens.

- Type A blood has the A antigen.
- Type AB blood has both A and B antigens, so the B antigen may react with Joe’s anti-B antibodies.
- Type B blood has the B antigen.
- Type O blood has no A or B antigens, making it acceptable for donation.

Thus, Joe can safely receive blood from type O donors.

**Question 19**

Hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN) is most commonly the result of an Rh incompatibility. The situation occurs when an Rh-negative ($$\text{Rh}^-$$) mother carries an Rh-positive ($$\text{Rh}^+$$) fetus. The first pregnancy usually sensitizes the mother (she develops antibodies against the Rh antigen during delivery), and in subsequent pregnancies with an Rh-positive fetus, these antibodies cross the placenta and cause hemolysis of fetal red blood cells.

- In option 1, an $$\text{Rh}^-$$ mother with a first $$\text{Rh}^+$$ child may be sensitized, but the first child usually is not affected.
- In option 3, an $$\text{Rh}^-$$ mother has a first child who is $$\text{Rh}^+$$ (which leads to sensitization), and then a second child who is also $$\text{Rh}^+$$. In the second pregnancy, the maternal antibodies attack the fetal red blood cells, causing HDN.
- Options 2 and 4 do not describe the typical scenario for HDN.

Thus, hemolytic disease of the newborn occurs in the situation described in option 3.
