The provider prescribes one unit of packed red blood cells to be administered to a client. To ensure the client's safety, which measure should the nurse take during administration of blood products? Correct1 Stay with client during first 15 minutes of infusion. 2 Flush packed red blood cells with 5% dextrose and 0.45% normal saline. 3 Discontinue the intravenous catheter if a blood transfusion reaction occurs. 4 Administer the red blood cells through a percutaneously inserted central catheter line with a 20-gauge needle. The nurse should remain with the client for the first 15 to 30 minutes. Any severe reaction usually occurs with the infusion of the first 50 mL of blood. Blood components are viscous, requiring a large needle to be used for venous access. A 20-gauge needle is not used to access a central catheter line. Normal saline is the solution to administer with blood productions. Lactated Ringer and dextrose in water are not used for infusion because of hemolysis. 75%of students nationwide answered this question correctly.
