Answer: a

1. Which is true regarding transfusion reactions?

a. Febrile non-hemolytic reactions are due mainly to an immune response; signs of this type of reaction include an increase in patient temperature and vomiting.

b. Actual allergic reactions produce facial swelling, hives, itchiness, and difficulty breathing which can be safely treated once the entire transfusion is given.

c. Transfusion associated circulatory overload (TACO) results in hives and edema from giving too much volume to the intravascular space.

d. Transfusion related acute lung injury (TRALI) results in jaundice from giving too much volume causing acute liver injury.
