What should a nurse do if a patient refuse to have a blood transfusion based on a religoius ground?
I am a final year medical student.A patient who refuses to have a blood transfusion must be:Counselled about the risks and benefits of the blood transfusion. They must be made aware of all the facts before making a decision. A well-informed decision is a patient's right (The Right of Autonomy) However, you must protect yourself medico-legally by recording the patient's wishes in the patient's notes, with a statement explaining that the patient was counselled about all factors concerned. This must be signed by you, AND the patient, with a witness if necessary/available.Some institutions may have "consent" forms where it is only necessary to insert the patient's name and record number, and have them sign the document.If the patient still declines a blood transfusion, his/her wishes must be respected.It must be noted that all patient's have the right to refuse any treatment as they deem to be best for themselves. This is not limited to religious beliefs. Also, any decision made MUST be an informed decision, where the patient is made aware of the consequences of any and all choices. The patient must not be coerced in any way. Of course, if the patient is not of sound mind, decisions are deferred to the patient's appointed representative. In cases of minors and legal guardians, the court can be asked to intervene.
Why would a patient need IVT?
A patient would need Intravenous Therapy, if they could not take the medication by mouth, or if the medication was unavailable by mouth - such as a medication that needs to be continuously administered over several hours. Fluids, glucose, certain nutrients, and blood are other things that can be administered through IV.A patient would need an Intravenous Transfusion if, due too blood loss or disease, their blood count was extremely low. Blood is not necessarily transfused whole, so it depends upon which parts the patient needs: red blood cells, plasma, or platelets. The transfusion of white blood cells is rare.Blood loss includes external and internal injury, whether a severe laceration or a bleeding ulcer. Intravenous Transfusion often occurs during surgery, and sometimes occurs during treatment for cancer because of the affect chemotherapy has on the body.Anemia is often a cause for blood transfusion.Plasma is transfused to ensure that a person has the proper balance to clot blood properly, whether due to medication imbalance or disease, particularly in diseases where the transfusing of platelets is prohibited.
