2. Fever and chills are common symptoms of transfusion reactions, which can occur with the administration of any blood product. Factor VIII is a blood product.
3. Nausea and vomiting are not usually associated with a transfusion reaction.
4. Although the nurse can watch for the symptoms of emboli, the nurse cannot directly observe for fat emboli formation.
