Blood Types Explained | Blood Groups (ABO) and Rh Factor Nursing Transfusions Compatibility
Blood typing made easy with explanation on ABO blood groups and Rh factor for nurses (blood transfusions).
There are 8 total blood types from four blood groups (A, B, AB, O). In nursing we transfuse blood, but before we do this we have to collect blood from the patient who will be receiving the blood transfusion. The patient's blood will be typed and crossmatched with a donor. The donor’s blood must be compatible with our patient to prevent a transfusion reaction.
To understand blood typing, you have to understand the relationship between antigens and antibodies.
What are red blood cell antigens? They are either present or absent on the surface of RBC. All red blood cells have them EXCEPT Type O RBCs. Antigens are proteins that can elicit an immune response when they come into contact with its corresponding antibodies. Therefore, they stimulate antibodies to defend the body.
So, when the same red blood cell antigens and antibodies get together it will cause an IMMUNE RESPONSE called agglutination. This is where the RBCs will glue together, hence clump together. Therefore, it is VERY important a person is not transfused with the wrong blood type.
Blood Types: Recipient and Donor
A blood type: has only A antigens on its surface with B antibodies in the plasma.
Type A: donates to A and AB and recipient of O and A
B blood type: has only B antigens on its surface with A antibodies in the plasma.
Type B: donates to B and AB and recipient of O and B
AB blood type: has both A and B antigens on its surface with NO antibodies in it plasma.
Type AB: donates to only other ABs but recipient of O, A, B, and AB...known as the "UNIVERSAL RECIPIENT"
O blood type: has NO antigens on its surface with A and B antibodies in its plasma.
Type O: donates to all types but only recipient of other O....known as the "UNIVERSAL DONOR".
Rh factors: either present or absent on the red blood cells surface.
If these factors are present on the RBC the patient is Rh POSTIVIE, but if these factors are absent the patient is Rh NEGATIVE.
If a patient is Rh positive they can receive either Rh+ or RH- blood. While Rh negative patients can receive only Rh- blood.

RegisteredNurseRN great video Sarah! Could you go over blood typing for fresh frozen plasma? Do you think the NCLEX could ask about that?

Don’t worry, for my own experience most nurses don’t have a clue about most things in the hospitals. It’s depressing to see. And they also have an attitude. This lady should be teaching nurse students about behaviors and compartments as we and not only technicalities.
Out of all the blood typing and Rh explaining on youtube, this is THE ONLY one that I find so helpful. Straight to the point and I understand! So THANK YOU!
Being O-, you hear a lot about how you're a universal donor and how that means you can help a lot of people... bit more stressful when you realize how limited you are for receiving.

I swear, this whole series has been my lifeline! When it comes to nursing education, you are my “Go To.” Thank you.
Did my exams on the 25th November and passed at 75 questions.Thanks Sarah,you are a God sent🥰
Sarah, I love how CLEAR and SUCCINCT your lectures are! You give just the right amount of details, ask relevant review questions so that we can assess our own knowledge, and the quiz is sublime! I'm so happy I found your channel, will recommend to all of my classmates in Physiology.
TY Nurse Sarah you helped me passed the NCLEX 3 years ago. I still watch as many nursing lecture from your uploads to keep me updated. God bless!
I’m a retired BSN, I do understand blood types. I have Essential Thrombocytosis. Which made me be aware of blood! Thanx for teaching, Sarah!
I was worried about bombing this part of my upcoming exam. I was trying to memorize everything but after watching this video I actually understand and don't have to worry about memorizing it!
Wow. In the nursing program I recall trying to memorize who could get what but the reasons why were never broken down and honestly, If I had been hit with a nclex question pertaining to this I would have bombed it before seeing this video. The way you broke it down with the antigens and antibodies was very simple for me to understand. And I will no longer be forced to try to memorize this. Thanks Sara
I am so glad I stumbled across this video. Wow. You're going to get me through the next 1.5 years of school.
God bless ya, you make a two hour lecture into the span of 15 mins
I'm not RN student but I'm taken anatomy and physiology. This helped me understand the blood type and all that goes into it. Thank you for making these videos.

This is such a straightforward and clear explanation! Thank you so much, Nurse Sarah!
Thank you so much! I just learned what I could not all semester long. God bless you.

Hello Sarah, I passed my Nclex!, i was tuning in for almost a year, you are a fantastic tutor, You explained and integrated every system so clearly. I understood it before but you made it easier to remember. Thank you so much, i will still be tuning in because learning never ends :).
Thank you so much for all your videos, they have helped me tremendously through nursing school from dose calc. to blood transfusions and so much more. You have helped to explain things that were not clear and give better understanding to subjects we have covered. You should really be a nursing teacher, you have helped so many people through your channel!!!
this was so fascinating. My family is a mix of A+ and O+ and I had a transfusion years ago. Always wondered about the way typing and what it all meant. This was very educational
This clicked for me! I was having so much trouble figuring this out but you saved the day! Thank you nurse Sarah!
This video helped me soo much!! I’m a visual learner and definitely needed those pictures to understand this topic. You are an awesome teacher Sarah!! God bless you!
I just love her! She make it so much easier to understand. I feel confident going into my AP2 class speaking on this topic on Wednesday. Thanks.
I’m literally watching this 30 minutes before a lab exam😂😂😂😂
Thank you. I have an exam in a week for physio and this has helped me.

This is my favorite so far. I liked the comprehensive explanation with the drawings. It made things way easier to understand.
Thank you Sarah, become a physician associate in the UK, and have been watching your videos since. you are amazing
Thank you so much! Usually, I prefer to watch more than a single video to understand something, your video is more than clear and satisfying!
Hi Sarah! I passed the CPNRE. Thank you so much for all your videos!! They help me so much you made everything so easy because of your teaching. I’m so glad I came across your videos. You’re the best. Thank you for inspiring me I hope I’ll be a great nurse just like you one day :)

Thank you so much for this! My Biology class is online now so our labs are to be done at home. This week it was on blood but there is no chapter or sub chapter on blood! It was frustrating trying to understand from the content in the lab alone. You made it so easy!
After so many YT videos this is the only video I found that makes sense and gives a complete understanding to me 🥺🥺 thank you so much u brought me tears

Ive taken A&P twice and I just now am understanding how blood works after this video. Thank you!! I start my RN program next year and will be a frequent viewer of your channel
I got a C on my first try for the blood typing quiz which is ok😞😔......I definitely think I could do BETTER especially when it comes to your patient's life there is NO room for ERROR, no exceptions. This is a great video! Blood typing is ESSENTIAL for a R.M.A who will soon be going back to school to be a precise, compassionate, confident future BSN
Just got curious about blood types and this is literally the clearest video I found!
Perfect! I really understood them now. Thank you so much Sarah. You're a great nurse 🥰
I was having such a hard time understanding blood typing and you made it easy! Thank you so much, I still would've been lost if i hadnt watch your video.
From a freshman, you saved my exam in genes and heredity. Thank you so much.
I didn’t know blood typing could this be easy. I should have known this sooner! Thanks for this. 👍🏻👍🏻
I was literally losing my mind trying to understand these concepts on my slides. I am so happy I found this video. Straight forward concepts. Thank you. 😊
Hi Mrs. Sarah Thank you so much for being you! your videos are the best!
Hey, thank you VERY MUCH for what you do. I don't know why it is so complicated for me to get all this but you explained it wonderfully. Now I just gotta try and understand it on my own =)
Thank you so much! I read my textbook along with other KZread videos, but yours explains so clearly! 😊
You have no idea Sarah, how you n your team have been making students' life easier. I get so much insight from your videos n surely it'll help to get me in BN program next year.
Thank you for uploading this! I wasnt able to review it in my books yesterday due to the excess content of other homework. This was a great overview!!
Omg after so many videos and reading materials she explained this soooooo well! And I’m finally able to understand this well!
THIS WAS SO HELPFUL. THANK YOU!!
Thank you Sarah, I am a nurse educator from Saudi Arabia and I share your videos with my students. I appreciate your efforts to make this information accessible for all and easy to understand. 👍💐
Sarah is very smart and genius nurse! I’m being motivated by her teaching skills. Please keep it!

What a great explanation 👍🏼 , keep going
Geeeesh lucky are those blood type AB for they can receive from all types of blood. Felt bad for type O for they can only receive for their same blood type, but the goodnews is they can give blood to all blood types. 🥰
Belive me this video saved me 4 pages of information which i had to do in 1 hour. thank u so much 🥰
Sarah - I Worship You! Thank you 🙏🏻. Kiersten (the RN in “inactive status” who just flopped NCLEX last Wednesday after being out of Nursing while I was globetrotting after the (now X)husbands (he cheated) career and raising the family- nearly 2 DECADES!

Just found out yesterday that im B RH negative, your video is so informative, been searching Google trying to explain but not much luck till i came across your video. Thank you 😊
Nurse Sarah, you are a great teacher! I'm so glad I found your channel.

Hey Sarah, would you be able to do a video on venous vs arterial ulcers? I have a final on it this week :) Thank you for all of your awesome videos!
wow saying thank you!! for summarizing this for people like me isn't even the right acknowledgement. you literally saved me from getting a zero on my upcoming lab practical exam. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
This is a positively pellucid explanation of the subject. Beautifully presented.
hey sarah, this video was so helpful.....oh my gosh thanks.
