Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Access the nursing information system for guidelines about blood transfusions.
Rationale:
🟪 Accessing the nursing information system allows the nurse to review current protocols, policies, and procedures related to blood transfusions, ensuring that care is safe, standardized, and evidence-based.
🟪 Reviewing guidelines is a critical preparatory step that helps the nurse understand what actions must be taken before, during, and after the transfusion (e.g., verification steps, monitoring for reactions).
🟪 The nurse is responsible for reviewing institutional resources when unfamiliar or needing a refresher on a procedure to promote safe, informed practice.
🟪 This promotes accountability and prevents avoidable errors, especially for high-risk interventions like transfusions.
