Are you in medical school? It's a little scary that you aren't doing your own homework....I'm not sure I want you taking care of me in the ER....

A blood transfusion? Test to see what blood type you are.

They would probably give her packed red blood cells, or whole blood.
They would do a Type and Cross match on her blood to find out her blood type, so they can give her the correct blood.

No, it's your homework. You don't learn anything by having it done by others!
