Question 1 of 5

The nurse is caring for a client with massive gastrointestinal bleeding from a gastric ulcer who received 6 units packed red blood cells (PRBCs) and 2 units fresh frozen plasma (FFP). The most recent laboratory results are a hemoglobin of 8.0 g/dL (4.96 mmol/L), platelets of 82,000/gi bleeding, requiring urgent volume replacement to restore perfusion.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Administer a PRN bolus normal saline. The client is exhibiting signs of hypovolemic shock, including tachycardia (HR 110 bpm), tachypnea (RR 24), and hypotension (BP 80/50 mmHg) following massive gastrointestinal bleeding and multiple blood transfusions. Immediate fluid resuscitation with a normal saline bolus is the priority to restore intravascular volume, maintain perfusion, and prevent further deterioration.
