Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to give a client an infusion of packed red blood cells (PRBCS). The nurse is priming her administration IV tubing, the nurse primes one side of the Y tubing with the blood and the other should be which solution?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: 0.9% NS (normal saline). When administering PRBCs, it is important to prime the Y tubing with NS because it is isotonic and compatible with blood products, reducing the risk of hemolysis or clotting. NS maintains the tonicity of the blood, preventing cell swelling or shrinking. D5W (
A) is hypotonic and can cause hemolysis. 0.3% NS (
B) and Lactated Ringers (
C) are not ideal for blood product administration due to potential incompatibility and risk of clotting.
