Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
A client wishing to have autologous blood donation must have a healthy hematocrit. Donation takes place 40 to 3 days before the anticipated date of use. An individual does not need to prove why conventional transfusion is unacceptable and does not necessarily need to be free of high-risk behaviors.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The nurse should come prepared with material required to take notes during the change-of-shift reports. The nurse should not delay the meeting for change-of-shift report by speaking to each staff member individually. Change-of-shift reports are not normally conducted in the presence of physicians; hence, the nurse need not wait for the physicians to arrive before exchanging notes. The nurse should ask questions related to the medical record if any information is unclear.
