Question and Answer (Q&A) Session

List some of the questions that you anticipate from
the audience.
-How

often can you donate blood?

Most people feel fine after donating blood. A unit of blood (500 ml) is
less than a pint, and the average adult body contains 10 to 12 pints of
blood. Your body makes new blood constantly, and the fluid you give
will be replaced within hours

- How long does it take to make a pint of blood?

How long will it take to replenish the pint of blood I donate? The
plasma from your donation is replaced within about 24 hours. Red
cells need about four to six weeks for complete replacement. That's
why at least eight weeks are required between whole blood donations.

Practice session

timing. I usually do it every night before going to bed so that I can
remember well.
Which area of your presentation needed improvement?
-From the feedback received from my friends, I need improvement in my
content, idea and I need to check on my timing.
Did you stay within the time limit?
