Answer to Question 1

Sleep-provoked

Answer to Question 2

D
The nurse should suspect a transfusion reaction. When a transfusion reaction is suspected, the infusion should be stopped immediately. The blood bag and tubing must be sent to the laboratory for analysis. A new IV line of normal saline should be hung. Diphenhydramine (an antihistamine) may be ordered once the physician has been notified of the patient's condition. There is no information indicating that the patient is in danger of cardiovascular collapse or requires resuscitation.
