Laboratory 1 Donor History
Skills: 10 points
Objectives
1. Properly register the donor by obtaining all necessary information.
2. In a tactful, respectful manner, ask the donor all appropriate questions and correctly record the
responses.
3. Evaluate the donor responses and determine the length of time for deferral for all unacceptable
responses to the questions asked.
4. List 4 conditions which would permanently defer a donor.
5. List 4 conditions which would temporarily defer a donor.
6. List the deferral time periods for the immunizations listed in your lecture guide.
7. State the reason for deferral for sexually transmitted diseases.
8. Explain why donors who have spent 3 months or more in the United Kingdom are indefinitely deferred
as blood donors.
9. List the two broad reasons for performance of the donor interview and physical exam.
Discussion
Careful donor selection plays a major role in determining whether or not a unit of donor blood will be
therapeutically effective and free of transmissible disease.
There are two parts in the selection of eligible blood donors. The first part involves obtaining a brief oral
medical history. The interview must be conducted by qualified personnel in a manner that assures auditory
privacy (visual privacy is also recommended), that allays apprehensions, and allows time for any necessary
discussion or explanation. Answers to questions must be recorded as "yes" or "no" with details added as
indicated. Results of tests must be recorded. Some very specific questions will be necessary but a great deal of
pertinent information can be obtained by asking some general or leading questions in simple language that the
donor can understand. If a potential donor passes the oral medical history interview they must then undergo a
very limited physical exam. The details of the physical exam will be covered in the next laboratory exercise.
Based on the answers to specific questions the interviewer must evaluate the responses and determine whether
or not the potential donor is eligible to donate blood. The questions asked serve two purposes.
 The first is to ensure that the donation of blood or blood components will not compromise the health of
the potential donor.
 The second is to make sure that a potential donor’s blood will not transmit a disease state to the potential
recipient.
Donors may donate one unit of whole blood every 8 weeks. Donation intervals for other types of products
(double red cell unit, apheresis platelets, etc.) will vary.
 Whole blood or red blood cells 8 weeks
 Two unit red cell unit 16 weeks
 Platelet apheresis – up to 24 times/year
 Plasmapheresis– once every 4 weeks, can be done twice a week

Laboratory 1 Donor History
The minimum of age of the donor is 16 according to the AABB. Some states may require parental consent or a
higher age. There is no maximum age limit. The potential donor's past and present health status will aid in
making this determination.
The potential donor's past and present health status will aid in making this determination. There are certain
situations in which a potential donor will be accepted (past carcinoma in situ of the cervix). Some conditions
will require a certain time period of deferral (12 months if rabies vaccine has been administered). And still
other conditions which will result in a permanent deferral of a donor (AIDS, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, etc.). It is
of critical importance that the interviewer knows the type of deferral which must be recommended for a variety
of conditions.
There are some general guidelines to follow when making decisions about donor deferral.

Blood Donor Educational Materials:
MAKING YOUR BLOOD DONATION SAFE
Thank you for coming in today! This information sheet explains how YOU can help us make the donation process safe
for yourself and patients who might receive your blood. PLEASE READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE YOU
DONATE! If you have any questions now or anytime during the screening process, please ask blood center staff.
ACCURACY AND HONESTY ARE ESSENTIAL!
Your complete honesty in answering all questions is very important for the safety of patients who receive your blood. All
information you provide is confidential.
DONATION PROCESS:
To determine if you are eligible to donate we will:
 Ask questions about health, travel, and medicines
 Ask questions to see if you might be at risk for hepatitis, HIV, or AIDs
 -Take your blood pressure, temperature and pulse
 -Take a small blood sample to make sure you are not anemic
If you are able to donate we will:
 Cleanse your arm with an antiseptic. (If you are allergic to Iodine, please tell us!)
 Use a new, sterile, disposable needle to collect your blood
DONOR ELIGIBILITY – SPECIFIC INFORMATION
Why we ask questions about sexual contact:
Sexual contact may cause contagious diseases like HIV to get into the bloodstream and be spread through transfusions to
someone else.
Definition of “sexual contact”:
The words “have sexual contact with” and “sex” are used in some of the questions we will ask you, and apply to any of
the activities below, whether or not a condom or other protection was used:
1. Vaginal sex (contact between penis and vagina)
2. Oral sex (mouth or tongue on someone’s vagina, penis, or anus)
3. Anal sex (contact between penis and anus)
HIV/AIDS RISK BEHAVIORS AND SYMPTOMS
AIDS is caused by HIV. HIV is spread mainly through sexual contact with an infected person OR by sharing needles or
syringes used for injecting drugs.
DO NOT DONATE IF YOU:
 Have AIDS or have ever had a positive HIV test
 Have ever used needles to take drugs, steroids, or anything not prescribed by your doctor
 Are a male who has had sexual contact with another male, even once, since 1977
 Have ever taken money, drugs or other payment for sex since 1977
 Have had sexual contact in the past 12 months with anyone described above
 Have had syphilis or gonorrhea in the past 12 months
 In the last 12 months have been in juvenile detention, lockup, jail or prison for more than 72 hours
 Have any of the following conditions that can be signs or symptoms of HIV/AIDS:
o Unexplained weight loss or night sweats
o Blue or purple spots in your mouth or skin
o Swollen lymph nodes for more than one month
o White spots or unusual sores in your mouth
o Cough that won’t go away or shortness of breath
o Diarrhea that won’t go away
o Fever of more than 100.5°F for more than 10 days

Laboratory 1 Donor History
Remember that you CAN give HIV to someone else through blood transfusions even if you feel well and have a
negative HIV test. This is because tests cannot detect infections for a period of time after a person is exposed to
HIV. If you think you may be at risk for HIV/AIDS or want an HIV/AIDS test, please ask for
information about other testing facilities. PLEASE DO NOT DONATE TO GET AN HIV TEST!
Travel to or birth in other countries
Blood donor tests may not be available for some contagious diseases that are found only in certain countries. If
you were born in, have lived in, or visited certain countries, you may not be eligible to donate.
What happens after your donation?
To protect patients, your blood is tested for hepatitis B and C, HIV, certain other viruses, and syphilis. If your
blood tests positive it will not be given to a patient. You will be notified about test results that may disqualify
you from donating in the future. Please do not donate to get tested for HIV, hepatitis, or any other infections!
Thank you for donating blood today!

MEDICATION DEFERRAL LIST
Please tell us if you are now taking or if you have EVER taken any of these medications:
 Proscar© (finasteride)  usually given for prostate gland enlargement
 Avodart©, Jalyn (dutasteride)  usually given for prostate enlargement
 Propecia© (finasteride)  usually given for baldness
 Accutane© (Amnesteem, Claravis, Sotret, isotretinoin)  usually given for severe acne
 Soriatane© (acitretin) or Tegison© (etretinate) – usually given for severe psoriasis
 Growth Hormone from human pituitary glands  used usually for children with delayed
 or impaired growth
 Insulin from cows (Bovine or Beef Insulin)  used to treat diabetes
 Hepatitis B Immune Globulin – given following an exposure to hepatitis B
o NOTE: This is different from the hepatitis B vaccine which is a series of 3 injections given over a 6
month period to prevent future infection from exposures to hepatitis B.
 Plavix (clopidogrel) and Ticlid (ticlopidine) – inhibits platelet function; used to reduce the chance for heart attack
and stroke.
 Feldene – given for mild to moderate arthritis pain
 Experimental Medication or Unlicensed (Experimental) Vaccine – usually associated with a research protocol
 Antibiotics
 Coumadin (Warfarin) or heparin – prevents clotting of the blood
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THESE MEDICINES AFFECT YOU AS A BLOOD DONOR, PLEASE
KEEP READING:
 If you have taken or are taking Proscar, Avodart, Jalyn, Propecia, Accutane, Soriatane, or Tegison, these
medications can cause birth defects. Your donated blood could contain high enough levels to damage the unborn
baby if transfused to a pregnant woman. Once the medication has been cleared from your blood, you may donate
again. Following the last dose, the deferral period is one month Proscar, Propecia and Accutane, six months for
Avodart and Jalyn, and three years for Soriatane. Tegison is a permanent deferral.
 Growth hormone from human pituitary glands was prescribed for children with delayed or impaired growth.
The hormone was obtained from human pituitary glands. Some people who took this hormone developed a rare
nervous system condition called Creutzfeldt - Jakob disease (CJD, for short). The deferral is permanent.
 Insulin from cows (bovine, or beef, insulin) is an injected material used to treat diabetes. If this insulin was
imported into the US from countries in which “Mad Cow Disease” has been found, it could contain material from
infected cattle. There is concern that "Mad Cow Disease" is transmitted by transfusion. The deferral is indefinite.
 Hepatitis B Immune Globulin (HBIG) is an injected material used to prevent infection following an exposure to
hepatitis B. HBIG does not prevent hepatitis B infection in every case, therefore persons who have received
HBIG must wait 12 months to donate blood to be sure they were not infected since hepatitis B can be transmitted
through transfusion to a patient.
 Feldene is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug that can affect platelet function. A donor taking Feldene will
not be able to donate platelets for 2 days; however, its use will not affect whole blood donations.
 Plavix and Ticlid are medications that can decrease the chance of a heart attack or stroke in individuals at risk for
these conditions. Since these medications can affect platelets, anyone taking Plavix or Ticlid will not be able to
donate platelets for 14 days after the last dose. Use of either medication will not prohibit whole blood donations.
 Experimental Medication or Unlicensed (Experimental) Vaccine is usually associated with a research protocol
and the effect on blood donation is unknown. Deferral is one year unless otherwise indicated by Medical
Director.
