Question 1 of 5
A nurse receives a unit of packed RBCs from a blood bank and notes that the time is 1130. The nurse should begin the infusion at which of the following times?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. The nurse should begin the infusion as soon as possible after receiving the packed RBCs to prevent bacterial growth and ensure the blood's optimal efficacy. Delaying the infusion could increase the risk of contamination.
Choice B (one hour after receiving the blood) is incorrect because it unnecessarily delays the infusion.
Choice C (two hours after receiving the blood) is also incorrect as it further prolongs the time before starting the infusion.
Choice D (immediately after lunch break) is incorrect as it does not prioritize the immediate need to administer the blood. Starting the infusion promptly is crucial to prevent any adverse reactions or complications for the patient.
