Question 1 of 5
A charge nurse is supervising a newly licensed nurse who is caring for a client who is receiving a transfusion of packed RBCs. The nurse suspects a possible hemolytic reaction. After stopping the blood transfusion, which of the following actions by the new nurse requires intervention by the charge nurse?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D. Starting the transfusion of another unit of blood product is incorrect because the nurse should not resume the transfusion if a hemolytic reaction is suspected. The charge nurse should intervene because this action can exacerbate the reaction and potentially harm the client. It is crucial to investigate the suspected reaction, assess the client's condition, inform the healthcare provider, and follow the facility's protocol for managing transfusion reactions. The other choices are incorrect because collecting a urine specimen (
A) can help assess for hemolysis, sending a blood specimen to the laboratory (
B) can provide additional information, and initiating an infusion of 0.9% sodium chloride (
C) can help maintain the client's fluid balance during the suspected reaction.
