Q

For a client at risk for fluid overload or older adults, what is a nursing administration in regards to blood products

A

Transfuse a unit of PRBC over 2-4 hr, avoiding any concurrent infusion infusing. Monitor vitals q15 min. If possible wait 2 hr between units of blood when multiple units have been prescribed
Place client upright with feet down
Administer diuretic and oxygen as appropriate
Monitor I &O
Prior to any transmission, assess kidney, respiratory, and cardiovascular function for risk of overload
