Detailed explanation-1: -Before a blood transfusion, the nurse should educate the patient on the risks and benefits of the procedure, tell patients what to expect, and describe the potential signs and symptoms of a reaction. If a reaction occurs, patients should be informed on how to call for help.
Detailed explanation-2: -During the transfusion process, the nurse is primarily responsible for monitoring the patient’s vital signs every 5 minutes during the first 15 minutes. The nurse must monitor for any signs and symptoms that may indicate a transfusion reaction.
Detailed explanation-3: -Verify that an order for the transfusion exists. Conduct a thorough physical assessment of the patient (including vital signs) to help identify later changes. Document your findings. Confirm that the patient has given informed consent.
Detailed explanation-4: -Safe transfusion requires a final patient identity check at the patient bedside before blood administration. This is vital to ensure the right blood is given to the right patient. Two clinicians must independently complete the patient and blood product identification check at the bedside.
