Answer to Question 1
ANS: B
All actions are important when administering blood products. However, to prevent a transfusion reaction, accurate patient identification using two unique identifiers (and two nurses) is critical. The nurse should check the orders prior to proceeding. Staying with the patient and monitoring vital signs will not help prevent a reaction but will help identify one quickly.
Answer to Question 2
ANS: C
In preparation for a bone marrow transplant, patients are given near lethal doses of chemotherapy and/or radiation in order to completely destroy their own bone marrow. This child will need protective isolation. HLA typing does not need to be done, as the source of the bone marrow is the child herself. Visitors do not need to be limited so severely. Teaching about complications is important, but does not take priority over protecting the child.
