The nurse prepares to administer blood transfusion to a client. Which means of identification does the nurse use to ensure that the blood is administered to the correct client?

Ask the clients spouse if he is supposed to have a transfusion.

Compare the name and ID number on the blood product tag with the name and ID number on the clients ID band.

Compare the unit and room number of the client with the unit and room number listed on the blood product tag.

Ask the client whether his or her name is the one on the blood product tag.
