A patient has been vomiting for 2 days, has not been able to eat
or drink anything during this time, and has not urinated for 12

80/52 mm Hg. Skin and mucous membranes are dry, there is
decreased skin turgor, and the patient is experiencing weakness.

= 132/76 mm Hg. Twenty minutes after the transfusion started,
the patient began complaining of feeling "itchy and hot" and a
new rash is present on the patient's trunk. Vital signs are now T
= 100.8°F (38.2°C); P = 82 beats/min; R = 24 breaths/min; BP =
146/88 mm Hg. Based on these findings, what is the priority
intervention?
Administer an antihistamine (anti-allergenic) medication.
Flush the blood tubing with D5W immediately.
Prepare for emergency resuscitation.
Stop the blood transfusion immediately. Correct Answers Stop
