Question 1 of 5
A nurse is monitoring a client who is receiving a unit of packed RBCs following surgery. Which of the following assessments is an indication that the client might be experiencing a hemolytic reaction?

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Dyspnea. Hemolytic reaction occurs when the recipient's antibodies attack the transfused RBCs, leading to their destruction. Dyspnea may indicate a severe reaction due to the release of hemoglobin breakdown products, causing respiratory distress. Vomiting (
A) is more indicative of a gastrointestinal issue. Flushing (
B) can be a sign of an allergic reaction. Hypotension (
D) may occur in various transfusion reactions but is not specific to hemolysis.
