A client with the blood type of O+ can receive either O+ or O- blood. A client who has the blood type of O+ cannot receive A+, B+, or AB+ blood.

Answer to Question 2

Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) acts on the vomiting center in the medulla. This is the intervention that would be the most helpful to the client at this time. The client should be provided with small, frequent meals. Mouth care should be provided when necessary. Iced fluids are helpful for dry mouth.
