S: Dr. McGuire, this is Esther - RN. I am taking care of Ms. Lieberman in room 5206. She is a 36-year-old client admitted from the ED today for a GI bleed. She's had one unit of packed RBCs and part of the second unit of blood. I stopped the second unit because I believe she is having a transfusion reaction. Her baseline temperature was 98.6 and is now 101.8. Ms. Lieberman reports having a headache, chills, and is restless. She does not have any evidence of a rash at this time.B: Ms. Lieberman has a history of Crohns disease and intermittent gastritis. Six months ago she had an ileostomy and started on infliximab IV every 8 weeks. Her last infusion was 7 weeks ago.A: Her hgb was 7 g/dL and her hct was 21% in the ED. When she arrived to the medical surgical unit, her BP was 94/56 and her pulse 110, but now her BP is 110/70 and her pulse is 110. At this time, her respirations are 26, her SaO2 is 97%, and her temperature is 101.8. I have discontinued the second unit of blood and plan to send both the bags of blood to the lab per protocol. I hung a new bag of 0.9% sodium chloride to keep the line open.R: Ms. Lieberman is requesting ibuprofen for her headache, which would also bring her fever down. Could I have an prescription for an antipyretic, and do you want to continue the IV infusion of 0.9% sodium chloride at 150 mL/hr?
