Detailed explanation-1: -The nurse determines that the client is gaining from this therapy if the client exhibits which of the following? 5. Answer: C. Less episodes of bleeding.
Detailed explanation-2: -The expected increase in the platelet count after transfusion of one adult therapeutic dose of platelets is at least 20-40 × 109/L at one hour after transfusion in an average sized adult, but this varies considerably depending on patient factors, for example, infection, splenomegaly, and antibiotics.
Detailed explanation-3: -Prophylactic Transfusion Threshold To prevent spontaneous bleeding-transfuse at <10, 000 cells/microliter, some recommend <5, 000 cells/microliter. Before neurosurgery or ocular surgery-<100, 000 cells/microliter. Before major surgery-<50, 000 cells/microliter. In DIC-<50, 000 cells/microliter.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Correct Answer is : C. Vital signs. The nurse must assess the vital signs before and 15 minutes after the procedure so that any changes during the transfusion may indicate a transfusion reaction is happening.
Detailed explanation-5: -The transfusion usually takes 15 to 30 minutes. You may have it in an outpatient clinic, in a day unit, or as an inpatient. The transfusion increases the number of platelets in your blood straight away.
