Question

this exam is closed - book. before starting, make sure you have studied all of the questions on your previous ct quizzes. question 32 2 pts dogs do not have naturally occurring antibodies; therefore, with regard to red blood cells, the first transfusion will cause a transfusion reaction. the first transfusion will cause alloimmunization. a transfusion reaction is more likely after a first transfusion. a transfusion reaction is less likely after a first transfusion.

Explanation:

Since dogs lack naturally occurring antibodies related to red - blood cells, their immune system has not been primed to react to foreign red - blood cells in the first transfusion. After the first transfusion, their immune system can become sensitized (alloimmunization occurs), making a transfusion reaction more likely in subsequent transfusions.

Answer:

a transfusion reaction is less likely after a first transfusion.
