Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving a unit of packed red blood cells. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Infuse the blood over 4 hours. This is correct because packed red blood cells should be infused slowly to prevent adverse reactions such as fluid overload and hemolysis. Infusing over 4 hours allows for a controlled rate of transfusion, reducing the risk of complications. Checking the client's temperature every 2 hours (
B) is important for monitoring for infection but not specific to packed red blood cell transfusion. Priming the IV tubing with D5W (
C) is incorrect as it can lead to hemolysis. Monitoring the client for signs of fluid overload (
D) is important but does not address the specific administration rate of packed red blood cells.
