room temperature

Explanation:

Question 3

In a suspected transfusion reaction, both blood (to check for issues with the transfused blood or patient's blood) and urine (to check for hemoglobinuria, a sign of hemolytic transfusion reaction) samples are collected, properly labeled as per physician's order. Other options are incorrect: only urine or only blood is insufficient, and saliva is not relevant here.

Packed red blood cells need to be shipped at a temperature between 0 and 4 degrees Celsius to maintain their viability and prevent bacterial growth. The other temperature ranges or room temperature are not suitable for their storage/shipping.

Transfusion of blood products (after removing from BBD shipping containers) must begin within 30 minutes to ensure the blood remains viable and safe for transfusion. 15 minutes is too short (unrealistic to prepare in that time for most cases), and 1 or 2 hours would compromise the blood's quality.

Answer:

C. Properly labeled blood and urine samples as per physician's order
