Question 1 of 5

Two hours after administering iron dextran, the nurse is drawing the client's blood sample for a laboratory test. Which intervention should the nurse implement when noting that the client's blood has a brownish hue?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: A: The nurse should document the finding of the blood's brownish hue; iron dextran (Dexferrum) may impart a brownish hue to blood drawn within four hours after administration. B: Drawing blood from another site is unnecessary because iron dextran imparts the brown-colored serum, and the color will be unchanged even if blood is drawn at another site. C: Notifying the HCP is unnecessary because the brown-colored serum is a normal finding after iron dextran administration. D: The blood sample should not be discarded because the brown-colored serum is a normal finding after iron dextran administration and will not affect laboratory analysis.
