Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Rationale:
A. The float nurse may not be familiar with discharge planning specific to long-term care facilities.
B. A nurse from the PACU is highly experienced with postoperative care and monitoring of clients with chest tubes, making this the most appropriate assignment.
C. Teaching about insulin self-administration requires specific education techniques which the float nurse might not be most familiar with.
D. Teaching for cardiac rehabilitation involves specialized knowledge that might be outside the float nurse’s expertise.

A. Skin color B. Temperature C. Fluid intake D. Hemoglobin level

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. Skin color is not the most critical parameter before a blood transfusion.
B. Temperature is important to monitor for baseline and the temperature should be monitored during infusion since an increase in temperature can indicate a transfusion reaction.
C. Fluid intake is relevant to assess overall hydration status but not the most critical before the transfusion.
D. Hemoglobin level is crucial to determine but it is not the most important data to obtain immediately before the infusion, as it does not change rapidly during the transfusion and does not indicate an ongoing reaction.
