Final answer:

The nursing staff needs to have certain items in the room for anesthesia to administer PRBC's (packed red blood cells), including the name of the procedure, confirmation of complete needle, sponge, and instrument counts, correct labeling of the specimen, and addressing any issues with equipment.

Step-by-step explanation:

The nursing staff needs to have certain items in the room for anesthesia to administer PRBC's (packed red blood cells). These items include:

  • The name of the procedure as recorded
  • Confirmation of complete needle, sponge, and instrument counts
  • Correct labeling of the specimen, including the patient's name
  • Addressing any issues with equipment

Having these items available ensures that the PRBC administration process is carried out safely and accurately.
