B) The client must have a hematocrit that is within normal range.
C) The client must prove that he or she is free from high-risk behaviors.
D) The client must donate between 120 and 30 days prior to surgery.
B
Feedback:
A client wishing to have autologous blood donation must have a healthy hematocrit. Donation takes place 40 to 3 days before the anticipated date of use. An individual does not need to prove why conventional transfusion is unacceptable and does not necessarily need to be free of high-risk behaviors.
