Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: This is a true statement, not a misconception.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: When the nurse gets to the blood bank, both the technician and the nurse will confirm that the blood received is the right blood for the right client, so the nurse must have something stamped with the client's information, such as the requisition for the blood. The nurse does not need her license, as that is verified with employment; a cooler is not needed, because blood should not be stored longer than four hours after receipt; and another nurse will not be needed until the nurse returns to the unit, when the blood will be double-checked before administration.
