A client is receiving platelets. In order to decrease the risk of circulatory overload in this client, what action should the nurse take? You Selected: Monitor vital signs closely before transfusion and once per shift. Correct response: Infuse each unit over 30-60 minutes per client tolerance. Explanation: Infuse each unit of FFP over 30-60 minutes per client tolerance. Platelet clumping will occur if administered too slowly. Vital signs should be monitored before and throughout the transfusion, not just once per shift. A liter of saline is too large an amount to flush the intravenous line and would contribute to fluid overload.

A client reports feeling faint after donating blood. What is the nurse's best action? You Selected: Assist the client into high-Fowler's position. Correct response: Keep client in recumbent position to rest. Explanation: After blood donation, the donor should remain recumbent until he or she feels able to sit up. Donors who experience weakness or faintness should rest for a longer period. High-Fowler's position would not promote blood flow to the brain, and could cause the client to feel light-headed or faint. Ambulating a client who feels faint is not safe due to the high risk of falling. Trendelenburg position is not recommended after blood donation.

A nurse cares for several mothers and babies in the postpartum unit. Which mother does the nurse recognize as being most at risk for a febrile nonhemolytic reaction? You Selected: Rh-positive mother; Rh-negative child Correct response: Rh-negative mother; Rh-positive child Explanation: A mother who is Rh negative and gives birth to an Rh positive child is at greatest risk for a febrile nonhemolytic reaction because exposure to an Rh-positive fetus raises antibody levels in the Rh negative mother. An Rh-negative mother can carry an Rh-negative child without being at greatest risk for a febrile nonhemolytic reaction; however, these mothers are often treated prophylactically. An Rh-positive mother may carry either an Rh-positive or Rh-negative child without increased risk.

A patient who has long-term packed RBC (PRBC) transfusions has developed symptoms of iron toxicity that affect liver function. What immediate treatment should the nurse anticipate preparing the patient for that can help prevent organ damage? You Selected: Anticoagulation therapy Correct response: Iron chelation therapy Explanation: Iron overload is a complication unique to people who have had long-term PRBC transfusions. One unit of PRBCs contains 250 mg of iron. Patients with chronic transfusion requirements can quickly acquire more iron than they can use, leading to iron overload. Over time, the excess iron deposits in body tissues and can cause organ damage, particularly in the liver, heart, testes, and pancreas. Promptly initiating a program of iron chelation therapy can prevent end-organ damage from iron toxicity.
