Jehovah’s Witnesses can receive all of the following transfusions as part of their religious belief except:
  1. Fractions from red cells
  2. White cells
  3. Whole blood
  4. Plasma
Explanation
Answer: C - Jehova’s Witnesses cannot receive Whole blood as transfusions. Whole Blood is the term used in transfusion medicine for human blood from a standard blood donation. The blood is typically combined with an anticoagulant during the collection process, but is generally otherwise unprocessed. In the US, the capitalized "Whole Blood" means a specific standardized product for transfusion or further processing, where "whole blood" is any unmodified collected blood.
