Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3, 4, 5

Answer to Question 2

2

Rationale: The tubing used for blood administration has an in-line filter. This helps ensure that any particles larger than the size of the filter are caught in the filter and are not infused into the client. The tubing should be macrodrip, not microdrip, to allow blood to flow freely through the drip chamber. An air vent is unnecessary because the blood bag is not made of glass. Tinted tubing to protect the blood from light is incorrect; blood does not need to be protected from light.
