After stopping a blood transfusion due to a suspected hemolytic reaction, which action by a newly licensed nurse requires intervention?

  1. Starting the transfusion of another unit of blood product

  2. Monitoring the client's vital signs

  3. Alerting the healthcare provider

  4. Administering prescribed antihistamines

The correct answer is: Starting the transfusion of another unit of blood product

Starting the transfusion of another unit of blood product after stopping the initial transfusion due to a suspected hemolytic reaction is not appropriate. In the case of a suspected hemolytic reaction, it is essential to discontinue the transfusion immediately to prevent further adverse reactions. Starting another unit of blood product without clarification and investigation could potentially exacerbate the reaction and harm the patient. The priority actions should be to discontinue the transfusion, monitor the patient's vital signs closely, alert the healthcare provider about the suspected reaction, and administer any prescribed treatments as needed.
