A client is having a serious blood transfusion reaction. What actions does the nurse take? (Select all that apply.)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The first action the nurse would take is to stop the transfusion immediately. The nurse would not turn the normal saline on because this will continue to flush the blood into the client's system. The nurse would notify the provider quickly. Usually the offending blood product and all tubing are bagged up and returned to the blood bank. The Rapid Response Team may or may not need to be called.
