The American Hospital Association bill of rights states that clients have the right to: Standard Text: Select all that apply.

1. Free health care.
2. Considerate and respectful care.
3. Confidentiality of all records and communications regarding care.
4. Refuse care.
5. Refuse to participate in research studies.

Question 2

The client receiving a blood transfusion calls the nurse, and requests acetaminophen for her headache and lotion to apply to a rash that she just noticed. The priority nursing intervention is to:

1. Offer to apply the lotion for her.
2. Administer the p.r.n. acetaminophen ordered by the provider.
3. Reduce the rate of blood infusion.
4. Discontinue the blood.

Answer to Question 1

2,3,4,5
Rationale 1: The AHA bill does not state that the client is entitled to free health care.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: The symptoms reported by the client are highly suspicious of a blood transfusion reaction, so the blood infusion should be discontinued and normal saline hung in its place until the RN and/or provider can be notified.
