显示答案和解析
为什么是这个答案
Wrong-patient transfusion can cause a fatal ABO reaction, so the final check is always done at the bedside, with positive patient identification against the product label, compatibility tag and order. Many US hospitals require two qualified people for this check, while UK guidance allows one trained person if positive identification is used. Local policy decides who checks.
答案
D · The patient’s identity is checked against the blood product and its paperwork at the bedside
