Question 1 of 5
The nurse is gathering supplies for a transfusion of packed red blood cells (PRBCs). The nurse should obtain which intravenous (IV) fluid to accompany this transfusion?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: 0.9% saline is the only IV fluid compatible with PRBC transfusions, as it does not cause hemolysis or clotting. Lactated Ringer’s, 0.45% saline, and 3% saline can cause red blood cell damage or electrolyte imbalances, making them unsuitable.
