Question 1 of 5
A nurse is planning care for a child who has a prescription to transfuse 2 units of packed RBCs. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include in the plan of care?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Infuse each unit of blood within 4 hr. This is important because packed RBCs should be infused within a specific timeframe to prevent bacterial growth and ensure the effectiveness of the transfusion. Infusing it within 4 hours helps maintain the integrity of the blood product.
A: Infusing dextrose 5% in water during the transfusion is not necessary and could potentially cause harm by diluting the blood product.
B: Administering RBCs using non-filtered IV tubing can introduce contaminants and should be avoided to prevent complications.
D: Storing the second unit of blood at room temperature for up to 2 hours is incorrect as blood products should be stored according to specific guidelines to maintain their quality and safety.
