1. Confirm patient identity and blood unit compatibility: Verify the patient's name, date of birth, and compatibility of the blood unit with their blood type and other relevant factors. 2. Monitor the patient closely: Observe the patient for any signs of adverse reactions during and after the transfusion, such as allergic reactions, hemolytic reactions, or transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI). 3. Use appropriate equipment and aseptic technique: Ensure sterile technique throughout the transfusion process, including using sterile needles, tubing, and bags to prevent infection.
