Practice Question
The nurse is teaching a client who follows Jehovah's Witness practices about autologous blood transfusions in preparation for an upcoming surgery. What should the nurse include in the teaching?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
The blood is donated by the client and then is reinfused if needed
Rationale:
🌟 Autologous transfusion means the client’s own blood is collected in advance and given back if needed.
🌟 This reduces the risk of transfusion reactions since the blood is self-donated.
🌟 It also minimizes exposure to bloodborne pathogens from donor blood.
🌟 Clients from Jehovah’s Witness faith may still decline, but this is the accurate teaching explanation.
🌟 The nurse’s role is to provide factual, unbiased education while respecting beliefs.
