Answer to Question 1

B
B. Use a new microaggregate filter to reinfuse each autotransfusion bag.
A. Hang the bag on an IV pole and continue to prime the tubing until all air is gone. Clamp the tubing, attach it to the client's IV access, and adjust the clamp to deliver the reinfusion at the appropriate rate.
C. Reinfusion is delivered either by gravity, application of a blood cuff (not to exceed 150 mm Hg pressure), or a blood-compatible IV pump
D. Connect the red and blue connectors on top of the initial collection bag, and remove it by lifting it from the side hook and then from the foot hook. This maintains a closed system within the bag and removes it for use in autotransfusion.

Answer to Question 2

C. Support client physically and emotionally while physician or APN removes dressing and clips sutures.
A. Physician or APN prepares an occlusive dressing of petroleum gauze on a pressure dressing and sets it aside on a sterile field and applies sterile gloves.
