A client who is receiving a blood transfusion develops a fever, chills, headache, and back pain. The nurse should suspect that the client is experiencing which of the following types of transfusion reactions?
A is incorrect because hemolytic transfusion reaction is a rare but serious type of transfusion reaction that occurs when the recipient's antibodies react with the donor's erythrocytes and cause hemolysis, hemoglobinuria, hypotension, tachycardia, and renal failure.
B. Febrile transfusion reaction is a common type of transfusion reaction that occurs when the recipient's antibodies react with the donor's leukocytes and cause fever, chills, headache, and malaise.
C is incorrect because allergic transfusion reaction is a type of transfusion reaction that occurs when the recipient's antibodies react with the donor's plasma proteins and cause urticaria, pruritus, angioedema, and anaphylaxis.
D is incorrect because circulatory overload is a type of transfusion complication that occurs when the infusion rate exceeds the recipient's cardiac output and causes dyspnea, orthopnea, crackles, tachycardia, hypertension, and pulmonary edema.
