A postoperative total hip replacement client is to receive salvaged blood through the cell saver system. The nurse is most concerned about which possible transfusion reaction?
A) Incompatibility reaction
B) Allergic reaction
C) Hepatitis B
D) Septic reaction
D
Feedback:
Infusion of blood products that contain microorganisms can result in septic reaction. The cell saver system requires specific guidelines and timelines for safe administration of the salvaged blood. Incompatibility reactions and allergic reactions are associated with mismatched donor and recipient blood, but salvaged blood comes directly from the client. Hepatitis B is not indicated with self-transfusions.
