Question 6

In transfusion protocols, if a Typenex wristband (used for patient identification in blood transfusion) is missing or incorrect, the BBD (Blood Bank Department) lab must be notified, and the transfusion will not start to ensure patient safety and correct identification. Other options like proceeding cautiously, just noting discrepancy, or patient signing a waiver are not standard protocol.

For patient identity verification before transfusion, typically 2 licensed staff members (including roles like Clinical Director of Nursing, Nurse Educators, etc.) are required to ensure accuracy and safety, not just any nurse, only a physician, or laboratory personnel.

Post - transfusion documentation should include detailed information like donor ID, time, date, blood component, and normal saline volumes given to have a complete record of the transfusion. Only blood type, just patient's name, or only temperature readings are insufficient.

Answer:

C. BBD lab must be notified, and the transfusion will not begin
