A nurse is planning care for a client who is to receive one unit of packed RBCs. Within which of the following time spans must the nurse complete the infusion?
2 hr: While some patients may tolerate faster infusion rates, the maximum safe time is 4 hours, and there is no requirement to complete it in 2 hours.
8 hr: Blood cannot be left out for 8 hours due to the increased risk of bacterial growth and contamination.
6 hr: Infusing blood over 6 hours exceeds the safe time limit and poses a risk of bacterial contamination.
4 hr: To reduce the risk of bacterial contamination, a unit of packed RBCs must be transfused within 4 hours of starting the infusion. This time frame ensures that the blood remains safe for the patient while minimizing exposure to room temperature.
