appropriate for the patient to receive?
1 A+ or A−
2 A− or O+
3 A− or O−
4 A+ or AB- - ✔️✔️3 ~ Only negative blood types can be given to a patient with a
negative blood type.


Which of the following is considered a primary cause of transfusion reactions?
~ Use of 0.9% NSS
~ Use of leukocyte reduction filter
~ Use of mislabeled unit
~ Use of Y tubing - ✔️✔️Use of mislabeled unit ~ A mislabeled unit, which is
considered a clerical error, is one of the main causes of transfusion reactions. Use of
0.9% NSS, Y tubing, or a leukocyte reduction filter does not cause but rather prevents
transfusion reactions.

environment in which it must be stored, it must be used within 30 minutes or removal
from that environment. Deterioration of cell components and accumulation of citrate ions
opse risks to the patient.

One unit of PRBC can hang no longer than:
~ 3 hours.

bacterial growth.
