Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The nurse would pretreat the client with acetaminophen (Tylenol) according to protocol orders if the client has a history of febrile nonhemolytic transfusion reaction. This is because a febrile nonhemolytic transfusion reaction often presents with a fever and chills, and acetaminophen can help to reduce these symptoms. Acetaminophen would not be effective for other types of transfusion reactions such as allergic or anaphylactic reactions, or immune-mediated hemolytic reactions.
