    BLOOD TRANSFUSION is required when a patient experiences blood loss from surgery, accidents, or anemia. A transfusion is needed when hemoglobin levels drop below 7-8 g/dL. There are 4 main blood types - O is the most common universal donor type, while AB is the rarest universal recipient type. Nursing responsibilities for transfusions include properly labeling and consent, IV access with a large gauge needle, monitoring the patient for signs of reaction like rash, fever, or pain, and knowing when to slow or stop the transfusion.
