Preview: "The Blood Typing Game" 

• Click on the picture to play the blood typing game.

• Please record the description of the patient that you are treating (ex: short haired man/goatee) 

• Next, you will examine the contents of each test tube prior to adding the blood sample. 

• Add the blood sample to each test tube and then draw the ZOOMED IN version of the contents 

• Use the "clumping" effects to determine blood type 

• Then, SAVE THE PATIENT! Add compatible blood types to the test tube.

• Record the blood types your patient can receive
