-
Integrate principles of genetics and immunology to blood bankAssessment StrategiesOral, Written or Graphic AssessmentCriteriaassessment includes a definition of the genetics problemassessment includes an analysis of the problem from the information provided related to parents and or childrenassessment includes a description or a diagram of viable solutionsassessment includes a definition of the problem related to immunology principlesassessment includes an analysis of the problem using immunology principlesassessment includes a description of viable solutionsassessment identifies the solution most likely to solve the problemassessment includes an explanation of why the solution is the bestclassification list is correctly sorted into the categories such as types of antibodies (class, clinical significance) and antigens (carbohydrates, proteins, soluble substances etc.)
-
Interpret ABO test results including discrepanciesAssessment StrategiesOral, Written or Graphic AssessmentLaboratory Practical AssessmentCriteriayou label tubes by appropriate means to distinguish between ABO cells and serum testingyou demonstrate proper technique for ABO testinglab report includes the ABO test resultsyou interpret both cells and serum testing for the ABO group accurately from your test resultsyou distinguish between various types of ABO discrepancies and identify methods of resolving the discrepancieslab report is neatly handwritten in ink; corrections are properly documented
