Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a patient who is receiving a blood transfusion. The patient reports chills and back pain 15 minutes after the transfusion begins. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first? What should the nurse do first for transfusion reaction symptoms?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Stop the transfusion. When a patient develops symptoms of a transfusion reaction such as chills and back pain, it is crucial to stop the transfusion immediately to prevent further complications. This action takes priority over other options as it ensures patient safety. Slowing the transfusion rate (choice
A) may not be sufficient to address the reaction promptly. Administering acetaminophen (choice
C) may help alleviate symptoms but does not address the underlying cause. Notifying the provider (choice
D) is important but should come after stopping the transfusion to address the immediate issue.
