Which of the following is NOT a reason for selecting RhD negative blood cells for specific patients?

Selecting RhD negative blood cells is primarily based on the need to prevent sensitization to the RhD antigen, which can lead to serious complications, particularly in women of child-bearing potential and patients needing ongoing transfusions. Specifically, patients with repeated transfusions or those likely to become transfusion-dependent require RhD negative blood to avoid the development of antibodies against RhD, which can complicate future transfusions and lead to hemolytic reactions.

Women of child-bearing potential who are RhD negative are a critical consideration for receiving RhD negative blood to prevent sensitization. If these women were to receive RhD positive blood, they could develop antibodies that would impact any future pregnancies, potentially leading to hemolytic disease of the newborn.

In contrast, otherwise healthy adolescents typically do not have the same risk factors associated with blood transfusions that would necessitate the same level of caution regarding RhD status. If they do not have any other underlying medical issues or risk factors for future transfusions, the selection of RhD negative blood may not be warranted. Thus, their selection does not require the same diligence as the other groups listed, making it the correct answer for which condition is not a reason for selecting RhD negative blood cells.
