A client has been admitted to the nursing unit with the diagnosis of severe anemia. She is slightly short of breath, has episodes of dizziness, and complains her heart sometimes feels like it will "beat out of her chest." The physician has ordered her to receive 2 U of packed red blood cells. The most important nursing action to be taken is:

  1. Starting an 18-gauge IV infusion
  2. Having the consent form on the chart
  3. Administering the correct blood product to the correctclient
  4. Transfusing the blood in a 2-hour time frame

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

(A) An 18-gauge IV is an appropriate size for administering blood; however, client safety demands that the right blood product must be administered. (B) The consent form is legally necessary to be on the chart, but client safety is maintained by giving the correct blood component to the correct client. (C) Administering the correct blood product to the correct client will maintain physiological safety and minimize transfusion reactions. (D) The blood administration should take place over the ordered time frame designated by the physician.

Based on your knowledge of genetic inheritance, which of these statements is true for autosomal recessive genetic disorders?

  1. Heterozygotes are affected.
  2. The disorder is always carried on the X chromosome.
  3. Only females are affected.
  4. Two affected parents always have affected children.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

(A) The term heterozygote refers to an individual with one normal and one mutant allele at a given locus on a pair of homologous chromosomes. An individual who is heterozygous for the abnormal gene does not manifest obvious symptoms. (B) Disorders carried on either the X or Y sex chromosome are referred to as sex-linked recessive. (C) Either sex may be affected by autosomal recessive genetic disorders because the responsible allele can be on any one of the 46 chromosomes. (D) If both parents are affected by the disorder and are not just carriers, then all their children would manifest the same disorder.
