Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer blood to a client. The unit of blood on hand is type $O$ negative, and the client has type A positive blood. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Administer the blood as ordered. Type O negative blood is considered the universal donor, meaning it can be given to patients with any blood type in emergency situations. In this case, since the client has type A positive blood, which is compatible with type O negative blood, the nurse should administer the blood as ordered without delay. Contacting the provider for further orders (
A) is unnecessary as the blood is compatible. Completing an incident report (
B) is not needed as there is no error. Notifying the blood bank (
D) is not required as the blood is already on hand and appropriate for the client.
