Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who is to receive a unit of packed RBCs. The nurse should prime the blood administration tubing using which of the following IV solutions?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 0.9% sodium chloride. This solution, also known as normal saline, is the appropriate IV solution for priming blood administration tubing because it is isotonic and compatible with blood products. The osmolarity of 0.9% sodium chloride closely matches that of blood, minimizing hemolysis and other adverse effects during blood transfusion. Dextrose solutions (choice A and
D) are not recommended for priming tubing as they can cause hemolysis. Lactated Ringer's solution (choice
C) is not ideal for blood transfusions due to potential electrolyte imbalances.
Therefore, choice B is the safest and most compatible option for priming blood administration tubing.
