ATI Comprehensive 2024 Exit Exam with NGN Questions
Extract:
A nurse is reviewing the laboratory data of a client who received 2 units of packed RBCs.
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following laboratory findings should the nurse expect following the transfusion?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Increased Hct. Following a transfusion, the nurse should expect an increase in hematocrit (Hct) levels due to the addition of packed red blood cells. This will result in an increase in the concentration of red blood cells in the blood, leading to a higher Hct value. The other choices are incorrect as:
A) Increased platelets are not typically affected by a red blood cell transfusion,
C) Decreased Hgb would not be expected as the purpose of the transfusion is to increase hemoglobin levels, and
D) Decreased WBC count is unrelated to a red blood cell transfusion.
