Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching to a client who is considering a total hip arthroplasty. The client asks the nurse, 'What happens if I need a blood transfusion during my surgery?' Which of the following statements should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: "You can donate your own blood a few weeks prior to this surgery." This is the correct answer because autologous blood donation involves donating your own blood before surgery to be transfused back to you if needed. This reduces the risk of transfusion reactions and ensures a compatible blood match. Option A is incorrect because family members are not typically required to donate blood for surgery. Option B is incorrect as total hip arthroplasty can involve significant blood loss. Option D is incorrect as even with screened donor blood, transfusion reactions can still occur.
