Blood transfusion
Blood transfusion ( 30 Questions)
Which of the following statements made by the nurse are correct? (Select all that apply)
Transfusion-associated circulatory overload (TACO) is not caused by antibodies in the donor's plasma. It is primarily a result of excessive volume administered during a transfusion.
Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) is indeed a leading cause of transfusion-related mortality. TRALI is characterized by acute respiratory distress and is caused by antibodies in the donor's plasma that react with leukocytes in the recipient's lungs.
Febrile nonhemolytic reaction is not the most common type of transfusion reaction. It is relatively common but not the most common. Other reactions, like allergic reactions or acute hemolytic reactions, can also occur.
Allergic reactions are not typically caused by ABO incompatibility between the donor and recipient blood. ABO incompatibility is more likely to lead to acute hemolytic reactions. Allergic reactions are usually triggered by sensitivities to plasma proteins or allergens in the blood product.
Bacterial contamination of blood products can indeed result in sepsis. This is a severe and life-threatening complication of transfusion, making it important to ensure the safety of blood products and proper handling to prevent contamination.
Choice A rationale:
Transfusion-associated circulatory overload (TACO) is not caused by antibodies in the donor's plasma.
It is primarily a result of excessive volume administered during a transfusion.
Choice B rationale:
Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) is indeed a leading cause of transfusion-related mortality.
TRALI is characterized by acute respiratory distress and is caused by antibodies in the donor's plasma that react with leukocytes in the recipient's lungs.
Choice C rationale:
Febrile nonhemolytic reaction is not the most common type of transfusion reaction.
It is relatively common but not the most common.
Other reactions, like allergic reactions or acute hemolytic reactions, can also occur.
Choice D rationale:
Allergic reactions are not typically caused by ABO incompatibility between the donor and recipient blood.
ABO incompatibility is more likely to lead to acute hemolytic reactions.
Allergic reactions are usually triggered by sensitivities to plasma proteins or allergens in the blood product.
Choice E rationale:
Bacterial contamination of blood products can indeed result in sepsis.
This is a severe and life-threatening complication of transfusion, making it important to ensure the safety of blood products and proper handling to prevent contamination.
