written exam is a C or better in accordance with genetics and principles of immunology objectives

by collecting, organizing and reporting data related to blood bank QC testing

blood banking equipment is calibrated

data is accurate

data is current

data is recorded completely and accurately

data is neatly handwritten in ink; corrections are properly documented

QC data is evaluated as to quality of reagents and conditions of testing (temperature checks etc.) and recommendations are made for corrections

by performing and reporting ABO test results including discrepancies

by laboratory practical

by written exam

you label tubes by appropriate means to distinguish between ABO cells and serum testing

you demonstrate proper technique for ABO testing

lab report includes the ABO test results

you interpret both cells and serum testing for the ABO group accurately from your test results

you distinguish between various types of ABO discrepancies and identify methods of resolving the discrepancies

lab report is neatly handwritten in ink; corrections are properly documented

written exam is a C or better in accordance with ABO testing objectives

by performing and reporting Rh test results including false positives, weak D's and Rh phenotyping

by laboratory practical

by written exam

you demonstrate proper technique for Rh testing

lab report includes the Rh test results

you interpret cell testing for the Rh group accurately from your test results

you distinguish between various types of Rh false positives and negatives and identify methods of resolving the discrepancies.

you select appropriate positive and negative controls when performing Rh phenotyping

you select the most likely Rh genotype from Rh phenotyping results.

lab report includes a description of the conclusions you drew and why when performing Rh testing

lab report is neatly handwritten in ink; corrections are properly documented

lab report uses appropriate Blood Banking vocabulary and symbols

written exam is a C or better in accordance with Rh testing objectives

written exam is a C or better in accordance with antibody screening testing objectives

by performing and reporting on cross-match test results

by laboratory practical

by written exam

you demonstrate proper technique for crossmatch testing

you select the appropriate ABO and Rh type for donor units to be crossmatched.

you select the appropriate type of crossmatch due to antibody test results and previous blood bank records

lab report includes the results (including control cells results)

lab results are properly interpreted

lab report is accurate

lab report uses appropriate blood banking vocabulary

lab report is written in ink; corrections are properly documented

written exam is a C or better in accordance with cross-match testing objectives

by comparing other blood group systems and reporting your findings

by written exam

comparison is based on your findings in relationship to types of antibodies, types of antigens, clinical significance and expected results on antibody screenings

comparison includes the similarities between the items

comparison includes the differences between the items

comparison includes logical conclusions drawn from the comparison related to possible expected test results for antibody screenings and crossmatches

comparison is neat and presentable

comparison uses appropriate blood banking vocabulary

written exam is a C or better in accordance with Other Blood Group objectives
