3) ANSWER  C. A-positive blood to an AB-negative patient

RATIONALE
•A hemolytic reaction occurs with a Rh or ABO incompatibility.
•Giving Rh-positive blood to an Rh-negative patient would cause a reaction, but giving Rh-negative blood to an Rh-positive patient is safe if there is an ABO compatibility.
•O-negative is the universal donor.
•AB patients can receive both A & B blood types, as long as there is a Rh compatibility.
