Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 3, 5

For an alteration in perfusion, the nurse should auscultate lung sounds, measure blood pressure, measure central venous pressure, and assess for jugular vein distention. Reducing intravenous fluids could exacerbate the problem.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1, 3, 2, 4, 5

If manifestations of a blood transfusion reaction occur, the first step is to immediately stop the infusion and notify the physician. The second step is to assess vital signs and assess for other manifestations. The third step is to compare the blood slip with the unit of blood to ensure that an identification error was not made. The fourth step is to save the blood bag and any remaining blood for return to the laboratory for testing to determine the cause of the reaction. The fifth step is to follow organizational policy for collecting urine and venous blood samples.
