Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving a blood transfusion at 125 mL/hr and develops a hemolytic reaction. Which of the following actions should the nurse perform?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Infuse 0.9% sodium chloride IV. This is the correct action because a hemolytic reaction during a blood transfusion can lead to hemolysis and kidney damage. Infusing 0.9% sodium chloride IV helps to support renal function and prevent further complications by promoting kidney perfusion and diuresis.
Choice B is incorrect as administering an antipyretic does not address the underlying issue of hemolysis.
Choice C is incorrect because decreasing the infusion rate may not adequately address the hemolytic reaction.
Choice D is incorrect as placing the client in a left lateral position does not directly address the hemolytic reaction or prevent further complications.
