Questions and Answers

What is the minimum age requirement to donate blood in most states, with parental permission?

  • At least 21 years old
  • At least 14 or 15 years old
  • At least 18 years old
  • At least 16 or 17 years old (correct)

Why do younger donors tend to have lower iron stores?

  • Because younger donors are more susceptible to illnesses that can deplete iron stores.
  • Because adolescence is a critical time for growth and development, so all the blood is needed to maximize nutrient transport. (correct)
  • Because younger donors have not yet developed sufficient iron stores in their bodies.
  • Because younger donors tend to have a lower body weight, which is proportional to blood volume.

What is the minimum weight requirement to donate blood?

  • At least 100 lbs
  • At least 110 lbs (correct)
  • At least 120 lbs
  • At least 90 lbs
