Answer to Question 1

B
B. Altered tissue perfusion would be associated with decreased circulation leading to cool and pale skin with capillary refill >2.5 seconds.
A. Impaired skin integrity would be associated with a breakdown in the skin surface.
C. Fluid volume deficit would be demonstrated with dry skin with tenting.
D. Altered nutritional state can refer to both more than body requirements or less than body requirements.

Answer to Question 2

C
Initiate the blood transfusion within 30 minutes of the time of release from the blood bank. If you cannot do this because the patient is in the bathroom or the physician has to be notified of an elevated temperature, immediately return the blood to the blood bank, and retrieve it when you can administer it.
