A practical nurse is monitoring a client who began receiving a packed red blood cell (PRBC) transfusion 15 minutes ago. The client suddenly reports severe lower back pain, acute chills, and a sensation of chest tightness. Arrange the following nursing actions in the correct sequence of priority from first to last.

  1. 1Stop the intravenous blood transfusion immediately.
  2. 2Disconnect the blood tubing and attach a new intravenous administration set primed with 0.9% sodium chloride.
  3. 3Notify the registered nurse and the rapid response team.
  4. 4Obtain a complete set of vital signs and assess cardiopulmonary status.
  5. 5Prepare to return the discontinued blood bag and attached tubing to the blood bank.
  6. 6Collect a fresh urine specimen from the client for laboratory analysis.

Cevap

The correct sequence prioritizes immediate cessation of the offending agent, followed by securing safety (new IV line), escalating care (notifying RN), collecting critical data (vital signs), and finally completing diagnostic protocols (returning blood, collecting urine).
The sequence follows the airway, breathing, circulation (ABC) and nursing process prioritization frameworks. Stopping the transfusion immediately removes the life-threatening trigger. Changing the tubing ensures the client receives necessary IV fluids without receiving the residual incompatible blood left in the old line. Notifying the RN brings advanced life support. Taking vital signs provides necessary data to the RN upon arrival. Returning the blood bag and collecting a urine sample are diagnostic and administrative tasks that must wait until the client is stabilized.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Halt the transfusion
Prevents further administration of incompatible red blood cells.
The client is exhibiting classic signs of an acute hemolytic transfusion reaction (lower back pain, chills, dyspnea). Removing the offending agent is the primary life-saving action.
2
Maintain intravenous access with new tubing and normal saline
Keeps the vein open for emergency drugs without infusing residual blood.
Flushing the old tubing would push more incompatible blood into the client. New tubing ensures safety while maintaining a route for vascular support.
3
Alert the registered nurse and emergency response team
Initiates advanced medical support.
The client will require medications and interventions beyond the practical nurse's scope of practice to manage potential shock and acute renal failure.
4
Assess vital signs and cardiopulmonary status
Provides critical baseline data regarding the severity of the reaction.
This data guides the incoming rapid response team in diagnosing the extent of hemodynamic instability or respiratory compromise.
5
Secure the blood bag and tubing for the laboratory
Preserves evidence for blood bank analysis.
The laboratory must crossmatch the blood again to determine the exact cause and type of the hemolytic reaction.
6
Obtain a urine specimen
Provides a sample to test for hemoglobinuria.
Hemolyzed red blood cells release free hemoglobin, which is filtered by the kidneys and can cause acute tubular necrosis. This confirms the systemic impact.

Anahtar Kavram

Prioritization of care during an acute hemolytic transfusion reaction requires immediate cessation of the blood product, maintaining venous access with sterile equipment, and rapid escalation of care before proceeding with secondary assessments and diagnostics.
