A nurse is preparing to administer a blood product to a client with a clotting factor deficiency. Which blood product should the nurse anticipate administering?

A) Incorrect: Slowing down the transfusion rate is not the appropriate action in this scenario. The client is experiencing signs of an allergic reaction, and the nurse must act promptly to address the situation.

B) Incorrect: Elevating the client's feet and lowering the head (Trendelenburg position) is not indicated for an allergic reaction. It may be used for clients in shock, but the priority is to manage the allergic reaction.

C) Correct: The nurse should immediately discontinue the transfusion and initiate the infusion of normal saline to maintain the client's intravascular volume. Discontinuing the blood transfusion helps prevent further exposure to the allergen (if an allergic reaction is confirmed) and addresses fluid volume needs.

D) Incorrect: While administering an antihistamine may be part of the treatment plan for an allergic reaction, it is not the immediate action. The nurse should first discontinue the transfusion and infuse normal saline as stated in option C.

A) Incorrect: Fresh Frozen Plasma (FFP) contains clotting factors and is not the primary treatment for hypoalbuminemia.

B) Incorrect: Platelets are used to treat thrombocytopenia and platelet dysfunction, not hypoalbuminemia.

C) Incorrect: Packed Red Blood Cells (PRBCs) are primarily used to improve oxygenation in anemic clients and do not address hypoalbuminemia.

D) Correct: Albumin is the blood product of choice for addressing severe hypoalbuminemia. It is a protein that helps maintain oncotic pressure and regulates fluid balance within the blood vessels.
