Todays Trivia​

Today's Trivia. The information re universal blood donor is O negative. All blood groups are described as Negative (-) or Positive(+) Rhesus factor. When a person comes into Emergency bleeding profusely, they may be given O negative as this is the universal donor. If they give O Positive without a blood test and screening, there could be a bad reaction. I am an RN and have also worked in the Red Cross Blood Banks. The Reus factor was named after the Rhesus Monkeywhen many newborn babies were seriously ill after birth. When a mum is Negative Rhesus, and the dad is Positive Rhesus, the second child will react to the Mum's antibodies, and the child will need an exchange transfusion. You can verify this by looking up Google re Rhesus Factor. When you become a blood donor, you will find out about the Blood Group and Rhesus Factor. Modern medicine is able to treat his condition very easily, and prenatal care will identify any problems.
