A nurse is preparing to administer a transfusion of packed red blood cells (PRBCs) to a client with severe anemia. Which of the following intravenous fluids should the nurse use to prime the blood administration tubing?

  1. 0.9% sodium chlorideCevap
  2. B
    5% dextrose in water
  3. C
    Lactated Ringer's solution
  4. D
    0.45% sodium chloride

Cevap

0.9% sodium chloride
Normal saline (0.9% sodium chloride) is the only acceptable intravenous fluid to use for priming tubing and flushing lines during a blood transfusion. It is completely isotonic with red blood cells and contains no calcium, preventing both cellular hemolysis and clot formation within the administration set.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the prescribed therapy to be administered.
The nurse is preparing to administer packed red blood cells (PRBCs).
Identifying the specific biologic product is necessary to determine fluid compatibility requirements.
2
Determine the compatible intravenous fluid for blood transfusions.
0.9% sodium chloride (normal saline) is identified as the only safe choice.
Using any other fluid risks hemolysis or coagulation of the donor red blood cells.
