The safest way to determine whether the blood product is to be given to the correct client is to check the client's hospital ID band and compare the information on it with that on the blood product tag.The room and unit numbers are never considered as means of positive identification.Asking the client who he or she is might result in an error if the client is confused.Similarly,a visitor cannot be assumed to know whether this is the client to have the blood transfusion.
