Step-by-step explanation:

have two qualified health care professionals check the blood component information and thr patients identification

this reduces human error

patient, or incorrect identification of the blood component. Having two qualified health care professionals check the blood component information and the patient's identification is

the best way to avoid giving the wrong blood product to the wrong patient. Vascular access is required to administer blood products and does not influence transfusion reactions. All blood or

blood components that are not used immediately should be

returned to the blood bank or refrigerated until the time of transfusion and administered within 4 hours or less, but failure to adhere to these guidelines is not the most common cause of fatal

transfusion reactions.
